Radical Feminist Reflections in the selected works of Marlyn French, Khaled Hosseini and Margaret Atwood
This paper seeks to explore the questions of radical feminism against women oppression and stereotype patriarchal roles in the selected novels of Marlyn French, Khaled Hosseini and Margaret Atwood. Drawing upon Shulamith’s theoretical perspectives on radical feminism (1970), this paper throws reflections on the challenges faced by the women in the selected novels and their resistance towards oppression based on biological creation. The selected novels are analyzed with a qualitative research design (Wellek & Warren, 1977) since the it provides space to the researcher for deep analysis. Using content analysis, the paper extracts and interprets resistance as a continuous pattern in the selected novels though written under different social and political backgrounds, due to different types of oppression caused by the patriarchal system. Thus, oppression becomes a global issue which needs to be direly readdressed in the 21st century modern world.
