Sameera Mousa is a nuclear scientist
Sameera Moussa was born in the
Gharbia Governorate in 1917. During her early life she began to keep many chapters of the
Qur'an and had the ability to memorize any sentence just by reading it. Her mother went through a fierce battle against
cancer. After her mother's death, her father moved with his daughter Sameera to
Cairo and invested his money in a small hotel in the
El-Hussein region. At the insistence of her father, Sameera attended Kaser El-Shok Primary School, one of the oldest schools in
Cairo. After she completed her primary education, she joined the Banat El-Ashraf School, which was built and managed by Nabawya Moussa, the famous political activist.
Despite the fact that Sameera got high grades in her Secondary education, she insisted on joining the Faculty of Sciences at
Cairo University. In 1939, Sameera Moussa obtained a B.Sc. in
radiology with First Class Honours after researching the effects of
X-ray radiation on various materials. Dr.
Moustafa Mousharafa, the first dean of the faculty, believed in his student enough to help her become a remarkable lecturer at the faculty. Afterwards, she became the first Assistant Professor at the same faculty and the first woman to hold a university post, being the first to obtain a Ph.D. degree in atomic radiation.
