ASSIA DJEBAR'S SO VAST THE PRISON:VALORISING THE WAILING VOICES

Abstract

Women have basically become prisoners of the never-ending and ever-changing rules and restrictions that society has enforced. This research concentrates on the mechanism of the novel So Vast the Prison by Assia Djebar whereby it constitutes a thinking that is imperative in the realization of women’s perspectives and demands. It is against this that the research considers the value of social and historical movements by postcolonial feminist groups in the Muslim world, and consequently the impacts of these movements on politics and culture. This study seeks to identify the success of rewriting history from a feminist viewpoint as a solution to the issue of gender inequality. It will also seek to break down the position of a woman in her profession, histories, and even in her very skin and how it is a prerequisite to the birth of a new identity.
