Abstract
This research aims to expose the brutalities and unjust behavioral patterns of men especially in Pakistani society through Fatima Bhutto’s novel, The Runaways. Following the said objective, the study dismantles the settled notions about women as feeble, other, weak, and deviant and a way forward to think women as free, independent and equal member of the society. In this work, the textual analysis has been carried out under Simon De Beauvoir’s ideology of feminism. Through Bhutto’s novel The Runaways (2019) this research argues that women are being suppressed and oppressed in this patriarchal society; they face inequalities and are given inferior status in the society. The female emancipation has been ignored and eradicated by the powerful and corrupt faction of society, male. Thus, it concludes oppression and objectification of women in the male dominant society of Pakistan and how do the social issues in Pakistan pestering the women while shattering their feminist beliefs painted by Bhutto.
