Huda Abdullah Al-Daghfaq (Arabic: هدى الدغفق; born 24 October 1967) is a Saudi Arabian poet, journalist, and feminist. She supports the removal of male guardianship from women and emphasises the importance of women as social and political decision-makers. Her memoir I Tear the Burqa to See has been described as an expression of the "existential battle" between her poetry and her cultural background.
