Abstract

Women representation in Urdu fiction writing presents variety of women issues in Pakistan. These fiction writings are highly influenced by society, religion, patriarchy and culture. This research is conducted to highlight women portrayal by two female writers of Urdu. One is Fehmida Riaz and the other is Razia Butt’s. Fahmida is famous for her feminist writings of which her ideology revolves around women subjugation, touching the most feminine characteristic of women lives “i.e.” love, affection and sacrifice. Meanwhile, Razia Butt’s writing is about more conventional household women. This comparative research discusses portrayal of women from two different points of views which will reveal the ideology of both writers, status of women & stereotypical image of women. These stories also reflect writer’s personal observations, beliefs, goals and expectations.
