"Postcolonialism and the Rebel Female: The Manifestations of Rebellion in Contemporary Algerian Feminist Poetry"

Abstract

This study examines the manifestations of feminist rebellion in contemporary Algerian poetry through a postcolonial critical lens, focusing on the deconstruction of patriarchal and colonial discourses of dominance. The findings reveal how female poets employ strategies such as linguistic subversion and the use of mythological symbols to reframe the feminine self as an active resistor, rather than a passive subject. The research further illustrates how Algerian women's poetry moves beyond social critique to challenge colonial and authoritarian structures
