Ghada Abd El Aal is a blogger, newspaper and magazine columnist, screenwriter and author of the bestselling Ayza Atgawez (I Want to Get Married). The blog that was out in 2006 is a sociopolitical satire that examines the cultural expectations placed upon women of marriageable age in Egypt. Abdel Al introduces herself on her blog as a representative of 15 million females from 25 to 35 years who are pressured by the society everyday to get married even though this matter is out of their hands.
In 2008 the blog was published in a book that has been translated into five languages Italian, German, English, Dutch & French which brought her international fame. In 2010 the book was turned into a hit TV series. Abdel Aal's comedic screenplay adaptation won The Golden Pyramid award at the Cairo Arabic Media Festival and the TV series was awarded Silver Pyramid award for the best comedy series. She is also the recipient of the 2012 Bauer Prize for promising new writers at Incroci di Civiltà, Venice's International Literary Festival.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
