Abstract: Women's liberation is an investigation into the communications of imperialism with sex, country, class, race, and sexualities in various settings of ladies' lives. Postcolonial women's liberation or the 'Third World woman's rights' started as an evaluate of standards in the Western women's activist scholars, examining the depiction of ladies in the writing and society of the colonized nations as minimized and mistreated ones in each part of life, to be specific, social, religious, political, financial, social, lawful and masterful, such that they are considered as second rate creatures. Postcolonial women's liberation pronounces that a slant towards homogenizing and universalizing ladies by concentrating solely on the association of ladies in Western way of life is an inconsiderate endeavor, on the grounds that for this situation, they are just characterized by their sex and not by social class, race, emotions, ethnicity, sexual inclinations, and setting of the colonized domains. Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns portrays the social, social, and political structures that bolster the depreciation, corruption, and savagery persisted by the female characters in the novel. From a postcolonial feministic viewpoint, this paper endeavors to explore the predicaments of ladies, especially the two noteworthy characters of the novel, Mariam and Laila, which are authorized on them through the patriarchal culture and benchmarks.
