Culture is a dynamic phenomenon related to politics encapsulating collective attitudes, beliefs, and perspectives. It establishes a frame within which individuals measure their value and build their understanding of the self.
The present study aims at examining the impact of 'cultural politics' on the female presence in the worlds of two selected plays: Wa’ad Ealaa Sharee’a / Infanticide according to Sharee’a (2017) by an Iraqi dramatist, Iman Al-Kubaisi, and The Children’s Hour (1934) by an American dramatist, Lillian Hellman. In both plays, women are shackled by cultural perspectives that limit their roles and suppress their independence and creativity. They are viewed as subordinates who should live by the rules and avoid uniqueness. Women struggle to find sources of liberation and change within their social milieu. Their struggle leads them to undergo a process of self-reflection and exploration of the harsh realities surrounding them.
