Abstract
The present article seeks to present a critique of Suleri’s feminist views in her twin accounts which are written in the backdrop of her personal memories and experiences in Pakistan. Using Suleri’s paradoxical claim as a point of departure that “there are no women in the third world”, the present analysis is informed by Mohanty’s theorization about categorizing women into such simplistic, monolithic and a historical form ationsuch as Third-world women. It not only tends to undermine the historical and cultural specifics which constitute women as subjects within and outside Pakistani culture, but also demonstrates a flawed perspective of Pakistani women by declaring them complacent with their actual or imagined marginalization – hence positioning them in a sisterhood of oppression instead of uniting them in a solidarity of transformation and resistance.
