We concluded by arguing that education plays a major role in the liberation of the masses. This study revealed that our two writers questioned the deplorable fate of women, the degrading state of their country as well as the awareness of the people to put an end to these powers which enslave the fatherland. On this, we have seen the denunciation of these retrograde powers as well as the proposal of our authors with regard to the freedom of women. Our work is based on religious and socio-political beliefs bearing on the central theme, namely the confinement of women which makes them perpetually in a state of dependence. An inventory of structures denouncing the oppression of the weaker sex was drawn up for our analysis. A critical study of the chosen works has been carried out. This study is framed by feminism and sociology of the Maghreb world. This work, which attempted to analyze the marginalization of the Maghreb woman, examined the pathetic fate of the fairer sex of the area, under the yoke of their silence and discussed the points of convergence and divergences in Tahar's Lowered Eyes Ben Jelloun and Shadow Sultana by Assia Djebar.
