Shifts in the Feminist Discourse in Saudi Women's Novels during the Era of Vision 2030
2024
Overview
Saudi Arabia has undergone profound social and cultural transformations, driven by the ambitious goals of its Vision 2030 plan. The diverse women empowerment initiatives since 2017 have contributed to a notable shift in societal norms, expanding opportunities for women in education, the workforce, and leadership roles, and reshaping their status and participation within society. In this evolving landscape, Saudi women's novels have become dynamic expressions of societal change. This research examines significant shifts in feminist discourse within Saudi women's novels published during the Vision 2030 era. The study analyses six novels by three prominent women authors: Umaima Alkhamis, Fatima Abdel Hamid, and Sahar Bahrawi. For each author, the analysis compares one novel from before the announcement of Vision 2030 and a more recent work written after its introduction. Through close readings of this selected corpus, the study explores how women's narratives engage with themes of gender, tradition, and societal transformation. The analysis identifies thematic changes, character portrayals, and narrative strategies that reflect a shift in feminist discourse. Additionally, the study contextualizes these literary works within broader societal changes and ongoing gender equality initiatives in Saudi Arabia.
