Give a polished alluring title, include the key text in the title                                                                                                            Postmodern and postcolonial feminists have criticized Western feminist scholarship for its tendency to assume that the experiences of Third World women are universally and essentially same, ignoring the diversity and complexity of their lives. In an effort to better understand and give voice to the variety of experiences among Third World women, these feminists have sought to challenge misleading stereotypes that depict them as helpless, submissive, and oppressed. They emphasize that it’s essential to recognize that the lives and experiences of Third World women are shaped by a multitude of factors, including cultural customs, language, history, education, family dynamics, societal values, religion, racial identity, social class, politics and economic status. In this paper, I will explore the ideas of Chandra Talpade Mohanty, a leading postcolonial feminist scholar, and read the novel Women at Point Zero to illustrate how all these factors in combination play a role in shaping the lives and experiences of Third World women. Through this analysis, I aim to challenge Eurocentric narratives and expose their limitations while also showcasing how Firdaus, a character in the novel, challenges and subverts essentialist and stereotypical views of women from the global South as passive and oppressed.
