Abstract
This study analyzed the concept of women’s status and oppression as depicted in the
writings of one of the famous fiction writers in Urdu literature named Qurat-ul-Ain
Haider.
1
It was a qualitative research study and was based on a sociological analysis of
a selected set of stories of the writer. Four stories were chosen from Qurat-ul-Ain
Haider’s writings for content analysis. This study reflected the socio-cultural values
regarding status of women in the Indian Subcontinent.2
It facilitated in understanding
women’s oppression specifically with reference to the culture in the then Subcontinent.
The concept of women’s oppression in the specific context of the literature emerged in the
form of low status of women, gender oppression, patriarchal cultural values, and social
injustice towards women. The writings of Quratul-Ain-Haider are to date relevant in
understanding of the status and subordination of women in South Asia and can serve as a
contribution to Feminist Sociology within a specific cultural context.
