Death as a Way of Women’s Resistance: Feminist Reading of Snow and Women at Point Zero

Women’s life without oppression, suppression and discrimination is the claim of women’s
rights. Women are subjected to discrimination or violence at various phases of life, by rules
and cultures. Unfortunately, female discrimination and oppression are rooted in the cultures
of male-dominated societies. Gender discrimination is the practice of denying or granting
privilege or rights to someone according to her/his gender, and such practice is acceptable to
both; in such societies with such practices and traditions, women’s mission for liberating
themselves is seen to be impossible because they have to challenge longstanding customs and
traditions of people. This study shed light on the practices of oppression, gender
discrimination that women encounter from infancy to adulthood, from childhood to
womanhood, as portrayed in Orhan Pamuk’s Snow and Nawal El Saadawi’s Women at Point
Zero, as well as the various ways of resistance depending on the cultural differences. Their
persistence trial to free themselves from oppression and male dominance. In Women at Point
Zero, there is a link between the triple effect of patriarchy, religion, and class on women. This
study examines how patriarchal culture, violence, oppression, and gender discrimination
happen not only in a family; in contrast, the violence does not happen from men, husbands in
families only, but again in wives, women’s resistance and reaction against them. In Snow,
women many problems related to their religious norms. The women’s discrimination is
because of using headscarves; Kadhife, the female character, is sketched as a woman who
attempts to have her right to support and defend women’s rights in her place, Kars, and to
retain wearing headscarves.
