Abstract:

Theories concerning love in the West tend to be bound by the problematic constraints of patriarchal conceptions of what counts ontologically as “true” or “universal” love. It seems that feminist love studies must choose between shining light on these constraints or bursting through them. In this article I give a feminist analysis of Augustine of Hippo's theory of love through a philosophical, psychological, and theological reading of his complicated relationships with women. I argue that, given the “embodied” nature of his many loves throughout his life, there is room in Augustine's account of

Abstract:

The present article engages with the eponymous character of Oscar Wilde’s “Salomé” and focuses on her subversion of the patriarchal rules, and on her attempts at seducing the prophet Jokanaan. Wilde’s “Salomé” becomes “an erotic symbol of daring, transgression, and perversity” (Sloan 112). She wants to look at Jokanaan, as well as to be touched by him and openly states her great desire for him, using the imagery taken from the biblical “Song of Songs” to express her passion. Moreover, the Princess skillfully adopts and reverses the male gaze to manipulate others and go beyond the patriarchal c

Abstract:

Wandiu-diu is a folktale from the Wolio community in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia, that depicts a family with two children, where the husband is a fisherman and the wife is a housewife. The husband’s role is crucial, as his occupation and actions contribute to the construction of gender roles and power. This article argues that this folktale serves as a mechanism of control over women’s bodies, underpinning patriarchal structures through three roles: married women, mothers, and independent women. Using Simone de Beauvoir’s gender framework, this study categorizes the data into these three rol

For the Dalit women in our patriarchal and caste-based society, Karukku is a vital novel. The protagonist goes through a series of patriarchal or conventional tribulations the entire time. This type of hardship frequently causes women to fall into the lower echelons of society. Whenever Dalit women travel, they are surrounded by a variety of conditions that have been shaped by their caste. With regard to family life, the women adhere to patriarchal rules. With so many social and patriarchal constraints, they are unable to express themselves freely. They end up being labelled as "other" as a re

Her seminal work has been highly influential in sociology and gender studies. However, legal scholarship has paid little attention to her work. This Article seeks to bridge this gap and explores how women bargain in the shadow of patriarchy. Using a European courts’ decision as an example, this article adds

AbstractThe article will show that in Nights at the Circus, Carter’s use of the themes of food consumption and excrement operate as both a grotesque means of emancipation from a feminine point-of-view, and a carnivalesque challenge to subversive patriarchal norms and deconstruction of arbitrary patriarchal hierarchies. By turning the simple act of eating into boisterous spectacle, and by handling a bottle of champagne and water hose in a disturbingly masculine manner, Fevvers transgresses the boundary between masculinity and femininity, sheds the patriarchal constraints imposed upon femininity

Thus, always seeking men’s approval, women drown out the inner voice of their bodies and resort to being ‘the body for others’. However, for Woolf, it is a self- destruction not a salvation.

Abstract:

Having been defined as an ‘incomplete man’ or an ‘incidental being’ that lacks certain qualities, women have gradually internalized the patriarchal ideology, claiming that they are essentially insufficient. Considering themselves as the insignificant ‘Other’ in relation to men, women are full of self-loathing and shame over their bodies. Thus, always seeking men’s approval, women drown out the inner voice of their bodies and resort to being ‘the body for others’. However, for Woolf, it is a self- destruction not a salvation. She claims women have to get rid of those docile bodies and disembodi

Abstract:

Under the oppression of patriarchal society, females are living in social norms where their behaviors are limited due to the stereotypes and ideals set toward females. In current research, scholars have already determined social norms established under the domination of patriarchal society and the effects that it has on females. Furthermore, marketing campaigns targeting females are determined to be consumerism traps that encourage female's purchases. Even though lots of scholars criticize this phenomenon, the solution is not given. By analyzing the world-famous high-end skin care company SK-I

Abstract:

The paper analyzes female agency and resilience in The Pakistani Bride by Bapsi Sidhwa, emphasizing the role of patriarchy and colonial legacies in constructing gendered oppression. While many Pakistani writers have examined the challenges faced by women in patriarchal systems, they often depict their struggles and resilience. Nevertheless, several works in Pakistani literature deviate from conventional tales. Bapsi Sidhwa, recognized for her unique literary style, depicts women as being independent and confident, providing an alternate viewpoint on female agency in Pakistani literature. The n

Abstract:

This paper examines the status and challenges of feminist movements in 21st century China. While the state has implemented laws and policies promoting gender equality, traditional patriarchal ideology persists in fostering discrimination against women. Through a socio-historical lens, the paper traces Chinese feminism from early 20th century reforms to current issues. It contends that the internet has enabled tech-savvy young activists to initiate theatrical protests against gender violence, catalyzing China’s #MeToo movement in 2018. However, structural barriers inhibit working-class and marg

Abstract:

In Sandra Cisneros’s The House on Mango Street, deciphering two key motifs—the rose and trees—is fundamental to unpacking the central tension of the book: the protagonist’s desire to leave Mango Street and return in writing. While the tree motif is well-studied, that of the rose has eluded critical attention. This article shows how Cisneros unveils the centuries of patriarchal oppression distilled in the image of the rose and, in turn, offers new metaphors for women seeking to escape traditional constraints.

Set against the backdrop of Gandhi’s Freedom Movement, Water pushes the boundaries of India’s male-dominant cultural narratives beyond patriarchal predicaments by questioning the religious tradition and the oppressive constraints imposed on Hindu widows. This paper aims to show how Sidhwa’s characters move toward more caring and life-enhancing scenarios by portraying relationships of mutual support in which human beings give evidence of ‘other’ possible patterns of construction of the self and forms of co-existence, thus overcoming the rigid discourses imposed by dominator hierarchies.

Abstract:

Simone de Beauvoir’s novel Les Inséparables employs a "dual-narrative" structure to explore the symbiotic yet conflicted friendship between two girls. The mirror-like relationship between the dual female protagonists serves as an allegory for female self-awareness: Sylvie breaks free from patriarchal constraints to construct her subjectivity, while Andrée resists through tragic self-destruction. Drawing on Lacan’s mirror stage theory and feminist perspectives, this paper analyzes the characters and their relationships under the dual-narrative framework, revealing the feminist ethos embedded in

Sylvia Plath’s poetry emerges as a profound exploration of gender identity, psychological trauma, and rebellion against patriarchal structures. Writing during a period when women's roles were rigidly defined by domesticity and subservience, Plath uses her poetic voice to interrogate, destabilize, and reimagine these constraints. Through key works such as Daddy, Lady Lazarus, The Applicant, and Ariel, this paper examines how Plath portrays the tension between societal expectations and female autonomy.

This is due to cultural constraints which have resulted in a less gender responsive policy, namely the patriarchal system. In the patriarchal system men control women's work. The implication is that santri occupy the main authority in the pesantren environment. In analyzing the nature and culture theory, women and their functions are identified with "life", placing themselves close to nature.

Abstract:

T. S. Eliot’s The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock has long been examined through the lenses of modernist alienation and psychological paralysis. While previous scholarship has emphasized the poem’s existential themes and innovative form, it has often overlooked the central role of gendered discourse in shaping Prufrock’s communicative anxieties. This article argues that Eliot critiques patriarchal norms by portraying Prufrock’s paralysis as a product of masculine performance anxiety—his fear of miscommunication, emasculation, and judgment in interactions with women.
