Abstract
The Algerian woman is among those women who were living profound agony during the difficult times of the country passed through and mainly from the rigid restrictions of their patriarchal society. Algeria’s struggle for independence was considered as one of the most bitter and bloody wars of self-determination in history. It penetrated all levels of society and impacted the consciousness of both the colonizers and the colonized. During this war, the Algerian literary scene witnessed certain forbearance of the majority of the writers refraining from writing and publishing. However, after the independence, a considerable number of new authors emerged to impose several records encompassing poetry, novels and essays by which they have given a great insight into the social issues faced by the Algerian people in general and woman in particular. Assia Djebar was one of the outstanding Algerian writers who emerged before the independence trying to reveal in her works the hidden reality that the Algerian woman was living and how she managed to defy and challenge the social mores. Moreover, Djebar was considered as the first feminist historian novelist to pave the way for her “sisters” to launch the cry for the right to the emancipation of women in Algeria. Accordingly, the present paper tries to shed light upon the aspects of feminism and transgression in the Algerian society in the 20th century relying on Assia Djebar’s magnum opus, So Vast the Prison.
