Spinsterization of Women or Spinster Women in Arabic Literature

Hayf¿¿ Bay¿¿r depicts in a daring and true way the interiorities of the Arab female, and she writes in a vital language about the concerns that dwell her in imagination. In her creative works in general, she deals with a group of subjects that are derived from the depth of the Arab society, especially those that are related to the suffering of the Arab woman. Hayf¿¿ Bay¿¿r introduces in her novel Nis¿¿ bi Aqf¿l a serious social problem through a loud cry that she launches, in which she says that the woman remains a prisoner all her years of spinsterhood.The sharpness of refusal to the principles of the male world that hates the idea of 'equality' rises in Bay¿¿r's novel. This is not a new thing in her previous writings, which carried the woman's concerns and introduced them as a repeated theme in her novels and stories. She also raises her direct accusation of the man's domination. In the novel, there is an indirect call to the man to respect the woman's humanity and not to summarize her into a body or a womb. She is an equal creature to the man in their human value even if we differ physiologically.
