| dc.description.abstract | This research is a comparative study between Nawal El Saadawi’s Woman at Point Zero (1975) and Alice Walker’s The Color Purple (1982). The aim of this work is to demonstrate the women’s resistance with the various issues they face in Afro-American and Egyptian societies in both novels, focusing on the two protagonists Firdaus and Celie. For this purpose, we have relied on Simone De Beauvoir’s The Second Sex (1949), as a frame theory. At first we have studied the difficulties that women face in both novels, we have explored women’s experience of oppression and violence in African American and Egyptian. The second chapter, we have discussed women’s fight and struggles against society. Through this study, we conclude that Nawal El Saadawi and Alice Walker defended women’s rights in their works, they make them stand against racism and patriarchy, and raise their voices opposing the issues of violence they face. | |
