Title: A study of Feminist elements in"Woman at point zero" written by Nawal El Sadawi
Abstract: Feminist critique, by revising some of its notions, and attempting to understand the cruel nature of what seemed like a free-lance philosophy, was based on stereotypes imposed by the society on women (stereotypes such as the woman of death, angel in house and the moral guard of man), and these representations are linked to the humiliation of women in social life. Consequently, throughout its history, it has been continually calling for the abolition and destruction of the patriarchal system and the elimination of the predominance of gender discrimination. This movement has several peculiarities, of which the most important are existentialist feminism and socialist feminism. Nawal Sadawi is one of the feminist writers in the Arab world, in his works, including the novel at point zero, on the patriarchal system and gender discrimination stemming from social and religious traditions. In this essay, we have examined the feminist ideas of Nawal El Saadawi in light of her being influenced by intellectual foundations of existentialism and socialism in the novel Woman at point zero. for Nawal El Sadawi the suppression of women is the fundamental form of patriarchy. hence, she often defines male dependency in terms of male sexual feelings.
