Abstract
This research aims to highlight the significant prejudice against women which in consequence leads to a serious impact on both the mental health of females and the image of women in patriarchal hierarchies. in this sense, this research tends to tackle the issues of gender stereotype, subjugation, and existentialism that were highly crucial concerning the conceptions held by social stratification in the period following WW2. Therefore, martial laws and arbitrariness in the ingrained oppressive patterns were a point of sublimation for Simone De Beauvoir and Sylvia Plath to question their role as women in their societies in specific and in the world above all, and on what grounds they shall stand. The Bell Jar and The Second Sex offered an explicit account of what is it like to feel suffocated and othered in society by refusing any means of typecast, preordained purpose, and lack of freedom.
