American feminist writers, poets and playwrights from the North and South, such as Susanne Glaspell, Margaret Deland, Sylvia Plath, Audre Lorde, and Tennessee Williams have been chosen for analyses of women’s narratives and their political underpinnings. They provide an interesting comparison to the changing legal, economic and social systems – a crucial period for the first-wave and second-wave feminist movements.
From the Middle East & South Asia, literary works of the sociologist Fatima Mernissi and Farida Shaheed, last heir of the princely state of Bhopal, Princess Abida Sultaan, and writers Bapsi Sidhwa, Ismat Chughtai and Qurratulain Haider have been examined to understand feminist implications for empowerment of women. Upon comparison it is learnt that 20th century European & American literary movements run parallel to the narratives in the early 19th and 20th century Middle East and South Asian literature and diaspora, laying the foundation for a transnational feminist framework centered on gender, sexuality, race and class, and the politics of intersectionality that keep women from realizing their fullest potential.
