INTRODUCTION :

Across the globe, women have been and continue to be considered weaker than men and

the most oppressed group in most societies. They were, in some ways, treated as slaves,

humiliated and continuously marginalized by society. Men always use women as a means of

satisfying their sexual needs. However, the situation of this unjust woman has changed over

time.

They would undoubtedly have to rebel at some point. It is crucial to keep in mind the

significant contributions made by women throughout the history of various countries in a

range of fields, for instance, their participation in the war; they left their homes they had

never dared to go to join the maquis for the need of the revolution, abandoning her veil and

crying alongside her brother, marking a turning point in her emancipation from both the

colonial yoke and the heaviness of traditions, As an example of these women, we may notice

Djamila Buhayrd, the Berber woman who viewed as an excellent symbol for the Algerian

Liberation, They were employed as ammunition testers, switchboard operators, and stok
takers.

For their emancipation and liberation, women started to express themselves by

writing books and journal articles about their personal lives or other women’s experiences.

This movement is known as "feminism." Which helped Women to participate in scientific,

political, and even revolutionary organizations in addition to their regular domestic duties;

feminists who fight for women's rights have always insisted on working for the benefit of

women all over the world. Among the most known feminist thinkers are Simone De Beauvoir,

Assia Djebar the Islamic feminist , Gloria Jean Watkins known as bell hooks and many

others who expressed female voices to be advanced in many aspects.

 our aim of this dissertation is to compare between two outstanding works ‘les

alouettes naïves' of the Algerian feminist writer Assia Djebar and the American writer

Janet Skelien Charles ‘The Paris Library ’ in which we would represent how both writers
