| Summary: | <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: "Jameel Noori Nastaleeq"; mso-bidi-language: ER;">This short article gives you a brief overview on women's role in literature, especially in Nobel literature. Although social attitudes and gender discrimination gave women little chance to flourish, and women's literature was mentioned too late in history, from Salma Lager's Leaf in 1909 to Elizabeth Gulak's in 2020 are part of the list of Nobel laureates. The fact that these 16 women received the Nobel Prize, although not a satisfactory numerical ratio, is a testament to the creativity and modern consciousness of these women. These women's writings are an expression of their society, their commitment and personal feelings, as well as a reflection of social turmoil, political stagnation and a gender monopoly on creativity. Life's rich experience and understanding have made these writings alive and will continue to be regarded as a historical document in the times to come. There is a need to consider the universality of women's literature instead of placing it in the box of women's literature and looking at it in a limited perspective, and to explore the meaning of these writings on a wider scale so that the direction of literature. With the addition of the feminine experience and narrative of perspective, the woman's rhetoric with her present and this angle of identity could grow in the right direction<span lang="ER">.</span></span></p> |
