A study of feminist ideas in the Girls of Riyadh Novel by Rajaa al-Sanea Based on Simone de Beauvoir theorie

SUMMARY

The important point of feminism is to emphasize that men, whether consciously or unconsciously, have abuse the women and given them little opportunity or no opportunity to express their opinion on the political, social and economic issues of their society. The purpose of feminism is to change this humiliating attitude towards women. So that all women realize that not one "other" is irrelevant, but that they are men worthy of the same privileges and rights as men. (Bressler, Charles, 2014:331) Feminists hope to be able to build a society in which men and women are treated with equal value. In this work, we have explored feminist ideas in the Girls of Riyadh (Banat al-Riyadh) a Novel by Saudi writer Rajaa al-Sanea in a descriptive-analytic manner based on Feminism arising from de Beauvoir. It has been very successful in portraying these ideas and has been able to depict the most important factor in the phenomenon of marginalization of women, the absolute sovereignty of men. The novel is very destructive and, instead, depicts a story of feminine courage that is inconsistent with Saudi's traditional, closed cultural environment.Keywords: Feminism, Patriarchy, Girls of Riyadh, Rajaa al-Sanea, Simone de Beauvoir. RESUMENEl punto importante del feminismo es enfatizar que los hombres, ya sea consciente o inconscientemente, han abusado de las mujeres y les han dado pocas oportunidades o ninguna oportunidad de expresar su opinión sobre los problemas políticos, sociales y económicos de su sociedad. El propósito del feminismo es cambiar esta actitud humillante hacia las mujeres. Para que todas las mujeres se den cuenta de que ni uno "otro" es irrelevante, sino que son hombres dignos de los mismos privilegios y derechos que los hombres. Las feministas esperan poder construir una sociedad en la que los hombres y las mujeres sean tratados con el mismo valor. En este ensayo, hemos explorado ideas feministas en la novela Girls of Riyadh del escritor saudita Raja al-Sane de una manera descriptiva-analítica basada en el feminismo derivado de de Beauvoir. Ella ha tenido mucho éxito en retratar estas ideas y ha sido capaz de representar el factor más importante en el fenómeno de la marginación de las mujeres, la soberanía absoluta de los hombres. Su novela es muy destructiva y, en cambio, representa una historia de coraje femenino que es inconsistente con el ambiente cultural tradicional y cerrado de Arabia.
