Abstract

This paper discusses Arab women’s resistance against multiple types of patriarchal and cultural oppression in Hana Al-Shaykh’s Women of Sand and Myrrh (1992). The paper also discusses the importance of education, employment, and freedom of daily life practices for women’s mission of self-development. Furthermore, the study also illustrates that through education, women come to their intellectual growth and independence that enable them to get rid of the patriarchal guidance restricting their life patterns and behaviours.
