Zahra.. According to Al-Mutanabbi's Principle of Preference

Fatima Zahra Al-Mansouri was the second woman to head the government, after the Tunisian Najla Bouden. Zahra progressed through various responsibilities, starting in the Moroccan party she helped establish, "Authenticity and Modernity," a title that has been extensively researched and debated by intellectuals, with some wanting it to represent authenticity without modernity and others wanting the opposite. Fatima Zahra's assumption of the presidency of the Moroccan government aligns with the title of her party. If we delve into authenticity and the heritage of Arab women specifically, we will find many women who held significant positions in history, some behind the scenes, wielding decisive influence, and others who became queens, starting with Arwa Al-Sulayhi in Yemen and Shajarat al-Durr in Egypt. This means that the highest positions were not prohibited for women, nor did they provoke war against them due to their gender, despite the differing opinions of jurists and authors of tax and royal decree books, who focused on the matter of the believers or the caliphate, indicating that masculinity was one of the prominent conditions for leadership. However, the position of minister remained monopolized by men until Iraq broke this barrier by appointing the first female minister in the Arab region. Similarly, the position of prime minister was also dominated by men until Tunisia appointed a female prime minister. In Islamic countries outside the Arab region, more than one woman has served as prime minister, and women have appeared as heads of their countries, with women serving as both heads of state and prime ministers. We do not claim that non-Muslim countries are restricted by gender conditions, except for what occurred in electoral participation, which was previously limited to males. The United States has not been able to elevate a woman to the presidency, but this was dependent on elections, and the two women did not have the fortune to ascend to the presidency. As for Fatima Zahra Al-Mansouri, she rose in the elections after her party, "Authenticity and Modernity," secured the top position in the elections. Although she was the frontrunner in her party, her experience and education were taken into account; she served as the mayor of her city, Marrakech, and came from a family with this lineage. She held the position of Minister of National Land and many other positions that she succeeded in leading, being a legal expert due to her university education in Morocco and higher education in France. Therefore, she was chosen without her gender being a hindrance. One might ask why, despite the presence of women in parties and their participation in elections for all those decades, none of them has emerged for this position? In addition to the delayed education of women in most countries for long periods, there is the social barrier; society is not prepared to accept women's advancement to top positions. If a woman makes a mistake, it is interpreted through her gender, even though men's mistakes can be catastrophic. Women have learned and entered the political arena through the widest doors, and the minister appointed with courage by her state's system has made the number of female ministers equal to that of men. This required gradual progress alongside societal advancement and the formulation of laws aimed at gender equality and preventing discrimination. In addition to education and experience in choosing a woman or man for this or that position, women have advantages when maternal emotions and responsibilities elevate them from their homes to society, where they are seen as mothers in what their positions allow them. This trait, if practiced by the office holder, will support her success, along with her education and experiences. In general, if Fatima Zahra succeeds in what she has been entrusted with, it is an experience that removes discrimination against her gender, and if she does not succeed, it should not be attributed to her gender, as many men have strived and failed in their endeavors. Women should not have to exert double effort to achieve perfection in "religion and intellect." Furthermore, the poet Abu Al-Tayyib Al-Mutanabbi (died: 354 AH) established a principle of superiority, despite gender differences: "If women were like those we know / Women would surpass men / And the femininity of the sun's name is not a defect / Nor is the masculinity of the crescent a pride." According to this principle, one could say regarding the selection of Fatima Zahra as the head of her government. An Iraqi writer.
