Abstract

This paper discusses both of Alice Walker’s and Radwa Ashour’s feminist approach, as both of them are much concerned with women's liberation and emancipation. Walker and Ashour have a different way in presenting the concept of liberation. They are interested in portraying the subjective history of women in their intimate depictions of women's experiences. They intend to produce what Cixous calls the feminine practice of writings, by focusing on the sensual aspects of women’s experiences. Ashour considers women's liberation should be within the concept of national liberation, while Walker sees women's liberation is quite essential in eradicating the racial discrimination.
