Abstract
Women, like men, are subject to many of the same disciplinary practices that Michael Foucault describes. But he is blind to those forms of subjection that engender the feminine body perpetuating the silence and powerlessness of those upon whom these disciplines have been imposed ( Sandra Lee Bartky 27). This is similar to burying the already ‘caged’ in a heap of dust in order to avoid visibility, this is tragic but for how long can They [they] bury the very essence of women? This paper attempts to trace the struggle against such tragic entrapment of the female self-amidst literature and life.
