Abstract :
The feminist movement, as a social orientation, aims to demand the right of women that has been stolen and wasted in the face of male domination and guardianship, whose features are evident in all the details of a woman's life. Feminist discourse in literature opened up to all scientific and human discourses in order to find an outlet for itself to achieve its goals and reach its goal. Ishraq al-Nahdi is considered one of the prominent female story writers in the Omani literary scene in the present era. Among the most important manifestations of feminism that we tried to expose in this study by reading socio-semiotics and according to the descriptive analytical approach, we can refer to: the dominant masculine discourse, the suffering of women represented by the oppressed woman, taking a position parallel to the man represented by the struggling woman, and the details of the female experience such as pregnancy, childbearing, divorce, and women's relations with other women.
