Abstract

This paper investigates the issue of feminism of both novelists: Charles Dickens and Naguib Mahfouz and how they reflected their human support for women in their novels. This study adopts the discipline of comparative literature where the similar themes for both writers are compared, shared and investigated. It is true that these two writers belong to different nations and different languages but they share similar views and reveal similar literary and social preoccupations. One hundred years separate between the two authors, Dickens was born in 1812 and Mahfouz in 1911 but surprisingly many social issues can still be found in the writings of both novelists. However, both writers try to depict their social milieu and reflect the social changes and suffering of their people. It is worthy to note that one of the main interests and very common among Dickens and Mahfouz is their interest in women's position and ambition in the society.
