The first topic is the feminist discourse in the face of societal power .. The second topic is Arab feminist performance and its textual achievements ..

The researcher devoted the third chapter to the research procedures, which included her preparation of the research community, which included choosing five samples for her analysis. The fourth chapter contains the results and conclusions, and they are delusional in the woman’s text.
