The Arabian Peninsula: Moudhi Al Kathiri (موضي الكثيري), also known as Moudhi Al-Lamiyah (موضي اللامية), played a crucial role in the history and politics of the Arabian Peninsula. As the wife of Imam Muhammad bin Saud (محمد بن سعود), the founder of the first Saudi state, her influence extended well beyond her household, shaping politics, religion, and society across the region. @saudi

@saudi This post is a bit flowery; important though because it was frowned on to write about the women of the Al Saud - to protect their honor. Princess Effat, wife of King Faysal for ex., quite the educator and do-er but biographical articles were discouraged or censored.
