Radical feminism</p><p>theory is used to analyze the selected texts as it considers patriarchy as the main root of women's</p><p>oppression. The objectives of the research shed light on the oppressive patriarchal authority that</p><p>uses its power to oppress Bedouin women, the types of oppression that Bedouin women are subjected</p><p>to by the norms of oppressive patriarchal system, and the way Bedouin women resist patriarchal</p><p>oppression. The study finds that, despite the strict Bedouin patriarchal system which imposes its</p><p>oppressive rules on women, the Bedouin women try to release these restrictions in several ways.</p><p>AI-Tahawi manages to provide a sense of identity for the female characters to free them from the</p><p>oppression through education, self-awareness, and solidarity between women in resisting the</p><p>patriarchal society, even if the resistance may lead to their death. As a conclusion, Bedouin women</p><p>are a victim of strict patriarchal Bedouin customs that consigns them as the "other" in the society</p><p>in the way that their lives are managed and controlled by the men. In order to free themselves,</p><p>women must educate and unite and recognize that they are oppressed. The implications of the study</p><p>indicated the power of the patriarchal system in the Bedouin community in shaping and controlling</p><p>the lives of its women until the twenty-first century, and that it is necessary to shed light on</p><p>the suffering of women politically, socially and economically in order to advance their reality for the better.</p><p></p> 2020 thesis https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=11637 https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=11637 text eng N/A openAccess Doctoral Perpustakaan Tuanku Bainun Fakulti Bahasa dan Komunikasi N/A |
