The Shackles of Discrimination Faced by Egyptian Women in the Bint El-Masarwa’s Album
Keywords:
Discrimination; , Egyptian Women; , Bint el-Masarwa’s Album;, Ideological Feminist Literary CriticismAbstract
The problem of discrimination that shackles women in Egypt has always been a dynamic issue to study. However, studying feminist literary criticism with more actual and persuasive objects (song lyrics) has not been studied much to answer adaptive challenges and problems. Therefore, this study aims to examine the discrimination that still shackles Egyptian women from the perspective of ideological feminist literary criticism in the album “Bint el-Masarwa,” which is still actual and representative after the postcolonial era. The data of this research are expressions contained in the lyrics of the album on ElBouma YouTube media. The data were collected using listening and tapping techniques followed by descriptive and reflective notes and analysed from the perspective of ideological feminist literary criticism using content analysis and dialectical methods. The results show that discrimination contained in the album still shackles Egyptian women with unequal acceptance of rights. Among the differences are the right to move as much as 14 data, the right to speak 11 data, the right to security 7 data, and the right to education 4 data. Based on ideological feminist literary criticism, this discrimination is influenced by patriarchal ideology under the pretext of local culture, religious legitimacy, and discriminatory views in family, intellectual, political, and social relations.
