Abstract

It is well known that the concept of gender is established and enforced through societal expectations where young girls are conditioned from their childhood that men are superior, and it is in their best interest to serve as their vassals. The aim of the paper is to redefine the body from a solely biological shape to a historical creation and instrument of social control that is now at the center of body politics. In the light of the feminist battle, to take control of their sexuality, the body has thus become a political issue and it is richly described in the poem The Song of Liberty that I have analysed employing ècriture feminine framework. Therefore, the paper culminates that the body politics need to be the part of the process of social transformation and not a postscript to it.
