Abstract:
Indigenous women of Pakistan have long been struggling with the patriarchal norms. Categorization of their existence in the conventional oppressions connotes diversified victimization. Grappling with such assorted repressions and articulating the subsequent silences, women writers of Pakistan and the social activists are incessantly engaged to empower women from societal peripheries. The selected fiction exposes how the indigenous woman is controlled and exploited on the name of religio-cultural rhetoric. The present article outlines the historical developments in changing the social positioni

Abstract:
This study investigates the aspect of pejorative condition of Pakistani women through the comparative study of two novels The Holy Woman (2001) by Qaisra Shahraz and Slum Child (2010) written by Bina Shah. Both the novels scrutinize communal and gendered subalternity of women and their struggle for selfhood in male chauvinist society of Pakistan. This research specifically explores the issues of women such as how they are dispossessed of identity, right of choice and social standing in the disguised form of honor.

This study investigates the use of gendered lexical items and collocates to deconstruct the patriarchal social system of Pakistan with the help of corpus tools. Media frame the mind and thinking of people with its repetitive announcements. Women being a part of the society are also part of media news but they are underreported by reporters and editors as most of the news are male- filtered news. Pakistani English newspapers are one of the popular sources of getting information across Pakistan. The local social system and male dominating mindset have influenced all types of media in Pakistan.

The research paper employs Kamila Shamsie’s novel Kartography as a primary text to critique the influence of occidental gaze on the diaspora female writers of Pakistan. It explores how these writers end up projecting the Pakistani women from their personal perspective of affluent, educated status mimicking the western feminist philosophy. The study uses textual analysis and closed reading methods within the post-colonial feminism and narrative theoretical framework.

Abstract:
Generally, literature written by Pakistani women writers in English depicts women as victims of patriarchy, social and cultural oppression. Meanwhile, in recent times the short fiction is exploring new paradigms related to the psychological oppression of married women in Pakistan. The following paper selects the short story, ‘The Nightmare’ by Pakistani writer, Rukhsana Ahmad, where a housewife suffers from paranoia because of disconsolate marriage. Therefore, this research aims to study the causes of psychological disorders specifically paranoia among apparently happy housewives. Moreover, th

Abstract:
This article explores the concept of unity of being in fiction by Pakistani women writers. The usage of mystic language and depiction of mystical and Sūfi symbols in literature can be traced back to ancient texts. However, it has been deemed alien for women to be Sūfis and have mystic experience, apart from a few exceptions. Indulging in formulating mystical symbols and using mystic language by women has not been perceived as too womanly. The main reason for this is the fact that women’s world-view has been restricted and thus deemed limited. Complete works of fiction by Pakistani women writer

Abstract:
This paper explores the notions of “articulation,” “agency” and “embodiment” in Urdu poetry composed by Pakistani women. Although these terms have been taken from the First world feminist discourses, we aim to highlight how these three terms were not merely reflected in the contemporary poetry of Pakistani women, but rather were used to express their own modalities and associations as they countered the patriarchal system within which they were embedded. Our study does not simply apply these terms on selected poems by Kishwar Naheed (1940-), Fehmeeda Riaz (1946-) and Azra Abbas (19

Abstract Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT) is a distinctive militant group in Pakistan because it dedicates considerable resources to recruiting women and their families, acknowledging that women are responsible for reproducing the ummat and raising good Muslims. While LeT encourages women to observe strict purdah, it also relies upon women to engage in important social and political activities. This affords women significant status within the organization and a socially acceptable public life, with the relatively rare opportunity to leave their homes to participate in LeT’s various women’s ijtema’at (p

The book focuses on two cohorts of women: one that fled East Pakistan in the early 1970s due to civil war, and the other that was forced to leave East Africa during the same time, when Idi Amin expelled Asians from Uganda and anti-Asian sentiments intensified in Kenya and Tanzania.

Among them, the “new” Muslim, predominantly signified by young women, is the contemporary reincarnation of a salafī, an early convert and companion of the Prophet Muhammad.

Feminism emerged as a worldwide movement to secure women's rights on the one hand and love, respect, sympathy and understanding from males on the other. It focused on women's struggle for recognition and survival and made them realise that the time has come when they should stop suffering silently in helplessness. The images of women in South Asian novels have also undergone a change in the last three decades. Earlier women were conceived as a symbol of self sacrifice and suffering.
