MARGINALIZING OF WOMEN IN PILLARS OF SALT AND BAHIYYA’S EYES
The context of marginalization is not only comprehended in the meaning of socio-culturally dropped women of the low condition which sustain marginalization due to their gender , class discrimination and being prevented from improving their own identity. It is also indicated to separatist women whose manner is considered to be errant or abnormal from the mainstream community. As a result, they feel marginalized and isolated from their community. This research discusses two selected novels Pillars of Salt (1997) written by Fadia Fakir describes the male domination in Jordanian community, and , Alifa Rifaat's Bahiyya’s Eyes (1983) focuses on male domination in Egyptian culture. Thus those novelists offer an alternative side of narration that resist the control of male discourse that attacks the discrimination system of ethics and values by informing their own experiences as a girl or a wife, and by their educational background or career as the marginalized women of the Third World Communities.
