- Abstract
More interest has been given to women's status in the Arab Muslim world due to the stereotypical representation that the western literary as well as academic scholarship provided about them. In fact, elite Arab Muslim women have quested for liberation through the creation of several feminist approaches for instance, the transnational feminist theory and the Islamic feminist theory that have reconstructed the image of Arab Muslim women in literature, provided a non-stereotypical representation about them as well as demonstrated their resistance to the multidimensional oppression they have confronted. The aim of the present study is to explore the distinct theories that have been adopted to advocate the Arab Muslim woman's question in order to dislodge the Western stereotypes, to demonstrate women's struggle against the systems od domination in the Arab Muslim world and to empower the Arab Muslim female reader through the celebration of women's power within the Arab culture.
