This qualitative research explores the representation of women in Pakistani literature in
English. Pakistani women are represented as victims of religious, cultural, social violence in
these works. This research finds down the stagnant stereotyping strategies used to represent
Pakistani women. This research delimits its focus by selecting Our Lady of Alice Bhatti by
Muhammad Hanif for close textual analysis. Feminist Postcolonial theorist Spivak s theory
provides the theoretical underpinnings for this research.This research concludes that Subaltern
cannot be represented and Pakistani women are depicted as meek, helpless creatures devoid of
any individuality. It has further silenced the women of Pakistan.
