Keywords:
Alghzamy, cultural criticism, feminist criticism, virility.Abstract
Saudi writer and the pioneer of cultural criticism works in the Arab critical discourse seems to
be a living example of the Feminist criticism .Abdullah Alghzamy is one of the "cultural
criticism" pioneers in the Arab critical discourse. This cultural discourse exceeds linguistic texts
creativity, to criticize other cultural aspects. In his last years, Alghzamy studied the Arab
cultural patterns. He also singled out the women of extensive studies. Woman has formed the
center of critical discourse of Alghzamy since the “sin and Atonement”. Alghzamy has instructed
the mysteries of creativity to her, or perhaps chosen the critical material to be compatible with
his intentions and purposes. Alghzamy is trying to prove his theory that the man has taken over
the language and disqualify her Femininity. In this research and through this brief vision, we are
trying to highlight the approach of feminist criticism in Abdullah Alghzamy’s works such as:
"Woman and Language", "feminization of the poem and the different reader", "cultural
criticism", "writing against writing". From the point of view of critics, these works are very
valuable in the field of Arab criticism, not to mention that Alghzamy is the first to adopt the
concept of cultural criticism in general and feminist criticism in particular.
