Fitzgerald and Mahfouz's Lower Class and the New Woman

Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 02

Abstract

In "Lower Class Women in Middaq Alley," Naguib Mahfouz examines the hardships and lives of underprivileged women in a Cairo working-class community. Mahfouz draws attention to the social, economic, and cultural obstacles these women encounter with her rich storytelling and evocative characterizations. The story explores issues of poverty, resilience, and gender inequity, demonstrating how social norms influence their identities and goals. By sharing their experiences, Mahfouz highlights the resilience and self-determination of these women, shedding light on their fight for respect and independence in a patriarchal culture. This piece is a celebration of the human spirit as well as a powerful indictment of social inequities.
