Abstract
This study addresses the issue of Algerian women representation in postcolonial era in Ahlem
Mosteghanemi's Bridges of Constantine 2013. This research, entitled Voicing Women Struggle
in Mosteghanemi's Novel Bridges of Constantine, aims at investigating the women struggle in
postcolonial society in the light of Postcolonial Feminism Theory. In addition, the study aims at
highlighting the fact of women marginalization in society in post independent Algeria. As a
result, this research finds out that Algerian women were not credited for Algerian Independence
war. It also reveals that women were mainly shattered and lost in their trials to prove their
individuality and freedom. According to Mosteghanemi, even if a woman is aiming at selfindependence and individuality, the shadow of patriarchal community still limits women energy
and passion towards a free status.
