Abstract
Today, the literature, and especially the Feminist literature, has been influenced by the philosophical-literary school of existentialism. This literature emphasizes Prominent Women's identity and emphasizes their high status and identity. This school analyzes human concerns by focusing on the primacy of existence on nature and by denying any quiddity introduces him as the only factor in his destiny.Layla Balabakki is a literary activist of the feminism movement and one of the most prominent existentialist story writers in the Arab world, who became famous at the young age with the novel âna ahia. In his work, which reflects her ideologies in defending the status of women, she spoke of the identification, independence and rebellion of a young girl who observing the facts of the family and society, she seeks to break the constraints and prove her independence and strives to restore her identity which caught up in tradition. The present research seeks to study the existentialist feminism of the novel through a descriptive-analytical method. The results of the research indicate that Layla Balabakki, under the influence of the existentialist philosophy, and in particular of Jean Paul Sartre's, has been able to use it to reflect the issues of women in different dimensions.
