Interconnectivity between the woman writer's novels and her autobiography : Nawal al-Sa'dawi as a sample

Abstract EN

The writer in women's autobiography is not the narrator, and therefore, we thought it is appropriate to read Nawal Al-S'adwai as a narrator at a distance from Nawal Al-Sa'dwai as a writer.

It is possible to consider rebellion against norms, breaking social shackles, overcoming all the difficulties of reality and aspiration for emancipation to be among the most important motives that characterize the woman autobiography in the modern era.

This motive characterizes the modern woman's discourse and it is actually achieved in her autobiography at all levels as the woman seeks to declare herself as a woman in a stronger way than the man.

In Nawal Al-Sa'dawi's autobiography, the writer did not fear to talk about her personal life or to reveal the hidden experiences in her life.

Nawal Al-Sa'dawi talked about the 'female' and her suffering when talking was forbidden.

She talked about society's encroachments and treatment of the woman as a weak creature when it was forbidden.

Her stories repeatedly talked about the woman's suffering, revealed the hidden facts and uncovered the invisible and the unseen by people's eyes and minds and she put her finger on the wounds in the woman's physical and spiritual entity.

This approach that Al-Sa'dawi adopts was intended to be a cry to the reader's conscience to help her to stop the injustice that has been done to the woman and therefore her texts deal with these contents.

When we read Al-Sa'dawi's texts, we realize that her autobiography is connected most to these issues
