“A travers le sable et la jungle” article by Marcelle Prat

The article, which appeared in the magazine "Le Matin" on January 20, 1935, is the result of the visit of the journalist and writer Marcelle Prat to the Siwa oasis.

She is, probably, the first woman to visit the oasis and to publish the story of her adventure.

After a brief introduction on the history of the oasis, the authoress focuses on Siwan society and in particular on the condition of women there.
