- Kurzbiographie
- According to the scholar of Arabic literature, S.K. Jayussi (niece), Jamal Sleem was the daughter of a Lebanese doctor and a Turkish mother who loved story-telling. She was largely self-educated, and married the writer-historian, 'Ajaj Noweihed. She went with him to Jerusalem where they founded the Al-'Arab review. She wrote fiction and poetry throughout her life, although little was published. While this has been explained by cultural apologists as the result of her being a "reclusive person", in fact her own handwritten account of her life is an historical treasure of social and political history in the Levant. She was relatively well-traveled in the Arabic region. The fact that so much of her writing was suppressed by Islamicists, and for that reason remains unpublished, is well-documented in her own hand.
