Fatima al-Fihri
Fatima bint Muhammad Al-Fihriya Al-Qurashiya was an Arab Muslim woman who founded the oldest existing, continually operating university in the world, The university of al-Quarawiyyin in Fez, Morroco in 859 CE.
Al-Fihri was born around 800 AD in Kairouan, present-day Tunisia. Little is know about her personal life. This is largely due to the fact that the al-Quarawiyyin library suffered a fire in 1323.
