The aesthetics of Algerian feminist writing, an approach to Arabic autobiography
Chefiri Fatiha, Dahmani Souad
Pages: 265-289
Abstract
It is not fair to say that only the feminist pen is capable of revealing the female self, and the paradoxical feelings that characterize this self, such as sadness, joy, pain, revolt against opacity and absolute submission to it and other such complex psychological mosaic, as the creative reality has proven to us that the male pen has a role in taking care of drawing this paradoxical psychological mosaic in words that captivated the recipient, as in the case of many well-known Arab creative names such as Mohammed HassaninHeikal in his novel “Zainab”, which captured with infinite accuracy the revelation of the female self of the honest romantic feelings that were shackled by complex social barriers, as well as the pen of Ihsan Abdel Quddus in in “I am Free”, “In Our House is a Man”, “Empire of Meem” and other novels that classified him as the first defender of women, to the accurate psychological and social description of this female self by Naguib Mahfouz in his famous trilogy, “Beginning and End” and many others created by this man.
