Arab feminism cannot be approached without referring it back to the social change factor, which serves as a sociological gateway to understanding and discussing various related issues - especially when taking into consideration the nature of the society governed by two characteristics: the first being its internal origin dominated by the sacred, even if reformative, and the other being extremely liberal and open, representing the essence of Western modernity. In this context, Arab reformist experiences have varied since the pre-colonial period, and have become more effective with the formation of national entities, such as independent countries. Within this social movement, attempts at reform in Arab societies have emerged, including those calling for reforming the reality of women and freeing them from a culture of intellectual stagnation. The research aims to provide an overview of the emergence of feminism in the Arab world, highlighting the conditions that surrounded it, as well as its demands and the foundations that contributed to its emergence, while also addressing the challenges it faced. Methodology: We will adopt discourse analysis approach based on the existing literature on this topic and the approach to the subject of feminism in our Arab world in the context of our societies and the transformations that have been dominated by the dominance of the other. Main results: Identifying the main features of feminism as a reformist developmental movement in our Arab world and identifying the most important problems it has raised
