It becomes a worldwide issue evinced by multiplicity of literary works narrating discriminations of society against women where women’s position is often exploited, humiliated, and even cornered. This article is designed to analyze the sexist oppressions experienced by female protagonists in Anthology Short Story Arab Women Writer translated by Dayla Cohen-Mor, the sexist socializations in the short stories as well as their responses towards the sexism.
