Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to illustrate a few of the short stories by Nada Faris found in The Elephant in the Room: Stories and Articles from Anglophone Kuwait. Raising Jenna, Thirty Year Marriage, and Circumscribed Criticism are the only three short tales examined from her collection. The intersectional feminist theory is used in this essay to explore the complex systems of discrimination that Kuwaiti women face. As it examines discriminatory practices from numerous angles, it is possible to say that intersectional theory is a synthesis of various perspectives. This study aims to demonstrate the oppression of Kuwaiti women and other women in Kuwait for a variety of reasons, including, of course, their gender and ethnicity. In addition, these women are discriminated against on the individual as well as institutional/governmental levels.
