Qasmuna

Qasmūna bint Ismāʿil (Arabic: قسمونة بنت إسماعيل; fl.11th or 12th century CE), sometimes called Xemone, was an Iberian Jewish poet. She is the only female Arabic-language Jewish poet attested from medieval Andalusia, and, along with Sarah of Yemen and the anonymous wife of Dunash ben Labrat, one of few known female Jewish poets throughout the Middle Ages.
