British Consul-General to Egypt ( ) Lord Cromer announced, "I am here to liberate Muslim women, I am here to liberate them from Islam" - a view that demonstrates the desire to rescue the Muslim woman, even if against her will. YET, he was the founder of the Women’s National Anti- Suffrage League ( ) established in London on 21 July 1908.

National liberation movement were always oppressed: Lord Cromer: The real future of Egypt...lies not in the direction of a narrow nationalism, which will only embrace Egyptians... but rather in that of an enlarged cosmopolitanism.
