Abstract
The study deals with the traditional feminine stereotypes in Mohsin Hamid’s
fourth famous book titled as Exit West that was published in 2017. Pakistani writers
have always highlighted the struggle and oppression of women in patriarchal
community but now their perspective has changed. Now, they portray women as an
independent and confident being. Generally, this book is known for the immigration
and refugee issues but the current study examines it the light of subversion of
traditional feminine stereotypes in Exit West. In this research, the researcher has tried
to trace out the incompatibility causes of feminist liberal ideologies with a nonwestern
society and how feminism subverts the traditional feminine stereotypes. In addition,
Betty Friedan’s theory of Feminine Mystique has applied to analyze the selected text. A
detailed study of Mohsin Hamid’s Exit west has been done in order to explore the
effects of Liberal ideology on individuals especially women.
