Women Spaces in Patriarchal Society: A Critique on Tehmina Durrani's My Feudal Lord

Abstract

            The study intends to draw attention to women's proper standing in various Pakistani cultures in    general and to their plight inside the Punjabi feudal system in particular. The study presents a   sober debate and argument regarding the heinousness of Pakistan's patriarchal/feudal society.   The patriarchal doctrine of superiority and servitude imposed on the two sexes, i.e. male and     female separately, is deeply ingrained in the feudal system. Feudalism in Pakistan is a form of      patriarchal social system that provides men more freedom to survive than women. This is an       unjust way to live that has to be highlighted as a major issue so that it can be resolved or at the             very least minimised. The study is qualitative and mostly focused on the contextual and    discursive analysis of Tehmina Durrani's work My Feudal Lord. The topics in the chosen texts             were examined by the academics using textual analysis. The researchers gathered M.M. Lazar's          theoretical notions of feminism from chosen research papers/articles of the discourse analyst,        i.e. Lazar, that are relevant to post-feminism in order to support and complete the needs of this           study.
