The paper seeks to demonstrate how Sa'dawi's work as a doctor in the 1960s exposed her to the predicament of women and girls in her society, inspiring her to investigate the root causes of sexism's widespread practice. Here, each of Sa'dawi's authentic texts is discussed separately in chronological order. In these works, Sa'dawi is seen demonstrating against female circumcision, sexual and social harassment of women, and other immoral customs in her culture. In an attempt to pinpoint the root causes of Arab women's subordination, she points the finger at patriarchal culture, economic limitations, and misguided interpretations of science and religion. It is forbidden for Sa'dawi to publicly criticize political or religious organizations due to the possibility of censorship, which carries the risk of imprisonment and persecution. One of the main reasons for Sa'dawi's immense popularity and the success of her literary works is her commitment to helping her fellow countrymen achieve balanced, healthy lifestyles from the psychological, physical, and sexual aspects via candid discussions of fiercely discussed themes. In the 1980s, Sa'dawi rose to prominence in the West and is rightly regarded as the leading voice of Arab feminism.
