GITI, Shahriar  e  MOHAJERI, Mahnaz. A study of feminist ideas in The Girls of Riyadh novel by Rajaa Al-Sanea based on Simone de Beauvoir theories. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2020, vol.12, n.1, pp. 251-258.  Epub 02-Fev-2020. ISSN 2218-3620.

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. They have been denied. By denying women the opportunity to express their points of view, men have denigrated and belittled femininity, making women irrelevant. 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.
