Abstract

In this research, the researcher decides to analyze feminism in Kishwar Naheed’s selected poems which have the same theme of caste inequality between women and men. This research method makes use of qualitative data analysis. Qualitative research looks for reasons and explanations rather than simply describing the research method and summarizing its findings. James (1998:576) says that feminism is based on the idea that women are disadvantaged or oppressed compared to men and that their oppression is in some way illegitimate or unjustified. Kishwar Naheed disagrees with the idea that all women are sinful and are viewed as objects and properties that can be abused by man-made laws of intensity and equity. According to some interpretations, the poem "We Sinful Women" defies time, form, and the nation-state. Many different interpretations of her poems exist, some of which I have presented here. The topics covered in the course emphasize the significance of women's agency as writers, as female protagonists, and in transgressive literature—literature that is regarded as "dangerous" in their own society. In her poems, women try to break the rules and free themselves from their chains by becoming their own liberators. Women breaking through barriers of marginality and achieving previously unimaginable heights
