Voicing Women’s Marginalization and Activating Solidarity in The Pull of the Stars

Abstract

Emma Donoghue is a well-known Irish-Canadian feminist author whose works deal with the difficulties of being a woman. She shows many images of how women have suffered in patriarchal societies, especially in the last ten years. Due to patriarchal ideology, women are seen as the “Other”. As a matter of fact, women experience dissatisfaction, despondency, powerlessness, and challenging situations. Emma Donoghue, in this regard, depicts female characters that struggle to avoid verbal and physical marginalization. The researcher analyzes Donoghue’s novel, namely The Pull of the Stars through the lens of feminist solidarity.
