Abstract:

This paper seeks to interpret the concept of intersectional female oppression as depicted in Chimamanda Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus of 2003. The novel revolves around Achike’s family and addresses the theme of violence, oppression, gender and freedom which led to it receiving the Hurston-Wright legacy award in 2004 and Commonwealth writers’ price in 2005. Kimberle Crenshaw’s concept of intersectionality on female oppression and the way it distinguishes itself from other approaches on female oppression offers a useful framework to examine and understand the multifaceted and interconnected nature

Abstract:

ABSTRACT This article illustrates a framework for intersectional music analysis that is based on four domains of oppression understood by Patricia Hill Collins as the matrix of domination. Arising from black feminist thought, intersectionality responds to intersecting oppressions imposed upon individuals. An intersectional perspective illuminates multiple layers of identity by attending to issues of race, gender, sexuality, class, ability, and other factors. By transferring Collins’s matrix of domination to cultural contexts, we can understand how intersectionality applies to the cultural form

Abstract:

Ecofeminism was formally proposed in the 1970s and widely applied to sociology, religion, and political science, and plenty of other disciplines. Indeed, some visionary female writers applied ecofeminism theory to literary writing as early as the Victorian period, with the awakening of female thought. Jane Eyre, a classic work of the period, explores the connection between nature and female consciousness and reveals the tragedy of men mutilating and oppressing women and nature in the 19th century. The novel depicts men's dominance and oppression of nature and women in a way that subverts binar

The present study is aimed to review of the development of feminist critical discourse in Pakistani context.

The very first perception of women oppression in Pakistan by the western world is wrong as Pakistan as an Islamic ideological state does not oppress women rather guarantees their equal rights.

Yaa Gyasi’s debut novel, Homegoing (2016) narrates the struggles of black female characters under structural oppression and the intergenerational transmission of trauma. While previous research has explored oppression and identity, this study explores how trauma gets passed down among black women, examining both victims’ and perpetrators’ experiences. Utilizing postcolonial trauma theory and transgenerational trauma concepts, this research aims to identify how oppression manifests and is transmitted among generations of black women. Findings from this study advocate, that there is a need to re

Abstract:

Chinese horror, a rapidly developed genre, is closely connected with customs and traditions. Women being the majority of ghosts and villains is a distinct feature of Chinese horror. This phenomenon is closely bonded with the Chinese cultural background, especially the ancient literature pieces and the yin-yang theory. As the sex belonging to yin, women villains contribute to the eeriness of the horror work, and this property also makes women easy victims in the story. The duality of the female victim and villain identity is portrayed in many works featuring female villains, as most of these wo

Abstract:

The history of human culture is replete with examples of systematic oppression of women. One form of oppression of women is the practice of female infanticide. Female infanticide means nothing but killing of a female child; soon after its birth, especially with mother's consent. This custom of killing new born babies is prevalent all over India. It is an extreme form of harassment inflicted on female child. This horrible practice is not only an insult to the new born child and its mother but also to women community. It is not a problem of any one community but a problem of the entire society,

Previous studies propose that female protagonists in Disney movies are represented based on gender construction that causes oppression towards women, but in 2014, Disney produces Maleficent which offers different characterization and theme opposing the aforementioned gender construction. By focusing on its different female main character and theme, this paper aims to see what kind of oppression occurs and how Disney presents their gender ideology in the movie. The findings reveal that even though Maleficent is portrayed as a powerful woman, she is also oppressed. Her magical power becomes a tr

For this purpose, Simone De Beauvoir's The Second Sex (1949) and Bryan Turner's The Body theory (1984) are used as theoretical frameworks to explore the selected novel.

To control women under the suppressive system of the Handmaid surrogacy, Gilead deprives them of language and subjects them to constant surveillance.

In Britain, long before Wollstonecraft’s The Vindication of Women’s Rights, many female writers questioned the contemporary society that took it for granted the inferior social status of women. One interesting way of making critique of the male-dominant contemporary society was to emphasize female friendship and love. Katherine Philips, Mary Lee Chudleigh and Aphra Behn assert that love and marriage in the contemporary male-dominant society simply become a means to fulfill men’s desire to rule over women, thereby emphasizing the consolation of female friendship and love.

Abstract:

British and American reviewers dismiss Attack of the 50-Foot Woman as unworthy of any serious consideration. It is arguable, however, that the original ‘50s’ product deserves serious examination both against the background of American SF films of the 1950s and as it anticipates the concerns about aspects of female oppression more fully articulated a decade later in the Women’s Liberation Movement. The film’s latent content has the heroine a victim of sexual and economic oppression. But the “camp” element and Freudian mechanisms of condensation and displacement dissipate that significance.
