Abstract:

Arab women have had a long history of participation in literary life, particularly in the community oriented, interactive literary salons that have existed since pre-Islamic times . The inherent message of such forums has always been, and continues to be, that literature is for sharing . ; Today, the voice of the female Arab writer persists, multifarious and authentic - it can neither be obscured nor ?packaged? in a way that is readily comprehensible to a global audience . Writers included in this analysis of the Arab female literary voice include Assia Djebar, Fatima Mernissi, Farzeneh Milani and Simin Tehran . ; Each in her own way, these women express an interest in social justice and freedom that is inherently consistent with the true principles of Islam . Hissa Hillal, winner of the Millions Poet Contest, is also discussed with regard to her contribution to a very public dialogue . Joumana Haddad, a radical poet, writes of killing Schererazade and the oppression that she embodies . ; Whether or not we continue to honor that legendary storyteller, it is evident that the voices of the new generation of female Arab writers take us to a place that is beyond Scheherazade and the strictly patriarchal social system she survived . These women have a literary voice in their own right, not merely in reaction to harsh circumstances .
