Miral Al Tahawi& Anita Desai: A Feminist Approach Reconsidered

Abstract

This study discusses the feminist images available in the novels of the Indian writer Anita Desai and the Egyptian writer Miral Al Tahawi. With decades of experience, the two writers explore the difficulties of feminine identity and the constraints women face in a patriarchal, masculine world. This paper aims to examine the depiction of females’ characters, their conflicts, and the feminist topics present in both writers’ narratives. Through a close examination of the writers’ feminist approach, this article aims to highlight the means in which Desai and Al Tahawi defy the outdated femininity roles and subscribe in the constant dialogue on feminism in fiction.
