Abstract The phenomenon of women’s oppression is a universal one that exists in most countries of the world. Women face different forms of oppression because of male domination and inherited concepts on men’s superiority and women’s inferiority. The feminist literature has been and is still an effective tool in scandalizing men’s practices against women and Margaret Atwood; the famous Canadian writer is one of those novelists who focuses on women’s issues in her works. In four selected novels by Margaret Atwood, this thesis explores different forms of oppression that women experience in male-dominated societies which are: Denial of women’s basic rights, women’s exploitation at the hands of men, women’s marginalization in a male-biased society, and violence targeted against women. |
