AN EXISTENTIAL FEMINIST STUDY ON NEHAL AND GIORGINA IN HADEER ELSBAI’S THE DAUGHTERS OF IZDIHAR

Aulia Nurul `Izza, Rina Saraswati, Nur Wulan

Abstract


This study aims to examine the marginalization and resistance of Nehal and Giorgina, the main female characters in The Daughters of Izdihar, to achieve freedom. This study uses Simone de Beauvoir’s existentialist feminist theory with a qualitative descriptive method. The findings show that Nehal and Giorgina's experiences of marginalization and their resistance to this marginalization have led them towards consciousness and characteristic transformation in revealing their existential identity.
