Maria Alphaizuli
Mariam bint Abu Ya'qub Ashshilbi was an 8th-century Arabic-language poet of al-Andalus. She was born in Shilb and settled in Seville, where she became a tutor of noblewomen.
During her time, many women of the Andalusian area cultivated the arts. Some well-preserved examples of her work survive in the library of the Escorial.
