This paper focuses on the concept of feminism with a stress on the novelistic trends of feminist fiction in the Middle East. We will discuss representative feminist literary works during the contemporary feminist movement. Feminist literature is considered to be creative work because it advocates for women’s causes and because they defend their freedom and rights. We will focus on the idea that critical feminist works impacted societies throughout history and helped women get their freedom and independence, even though feminist literature is considered to be focused on the different shapes of sexuality. We analyze the Feminist Movement of the Middle East through Muslim culture influenced by the West. They consider that the Arab world is experiencing a global crisis with a series of underlying structural problems extending to cultural conflict. The condition and position of women in the Islamic world are one of the most controversial and studied issues in the last decades.

Looking closely at two of the novels of Inaam Kachachi – The American Granddaughter and Tashari – this essay examines the role of fictional works by diaspora writers in shaping an aesthetic approach to the literature of exile, exposing the tensions between the writer’s personal experience of exile and her objective view on the existing situation in Iraq, as expressed by the plight of her two female characters, Zeina and Wardiyya.

Toni Morrison is an American African Novelist born in Ohio 1931.she won the Nobel Prize for literature. In 2014, Iraqi woman writer Inaam Kachachi was shortlisted for the 2014 International Prize for Arabic Fiction, and in 2016 she won the Lagardere Award for Arab Novel for Tashari, a novel originally published in Arabic in 2013 and translated into French in 2016. My contribution situates the two authors in the theoretical framework of feminist writing that allows for a special understanding of the general themes that preoccupy these two women writers belonging to such different cultural backgrounds.
