    Patriarchy and Women’s Resistance in Lauraine’s Hanberry A Raisin in the Sun (1959) and Malika Mokeddem ‘s The Forbidden Woman (1993).
    (Mouloud Mammeri University, 2023) Slamani Yasmine; Sahraoui Naouel
    We examined the issue of patriarchy and women's resistance in Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun (1959) and Malika Mokeddem's The Forbidden Woman (1993). In the two chapters devoted to each issue, we borrowed theoretical concepts, namelySimon DeBeauvoir’s Otherness in her Second Sex (1949) ,and Chela Sandoval's Differential Consciousness in her Methodology of the Oppressed (2000), to highlight how women from different backgrounds endured patriarchy and how some fought for gender equality and against traditional gender roles. In the first chapter of our work, we focused on the ways in which women were marginalized and inferiorized, while in the second chapter, we revealed how some women fought back against the different systems of oppression in various ways within their communities, and that in both of the works. The study of the two works allowed us to see that the Afro-American author Lorraine Hansberry and the Algerian francophone author Malika Mokeddem, despite the different racial and societal backgrounds, similarly portrayed the experiences of women in patriarchal societies and also their journey of resistance.
