This study examines the representation of feminist existentialism in certain western societies as depicted in American and British literatures.
One of the novels is British, and the other is American.
The British novel is significantly written by Virginia Woolf in her novel: To the Lighthouse, while the American one is written by Nathanial Hawthorn in his novel: The Scarlet Letter.
The study aims at identifying the women's image in their communities and clarifying the way of struggling in order to obtain their own rights.
The study also explores the women's status and how the community treats them.
Feminist existentialism has proved women's rights in their society and recognized them through their obvious writings.
They try to perform their equality towards the authority of man.
