  Abstract:  Didacticism and the Feminist Quest: The Case of Mrs. Dalloway and Beirut 75. This paper compares the British prose writer Virginia Woolf and the Arab writer Ghada al-Samman. Western society is liberal and consequently, literature represents freedom by characters that are not usually manipulated by ideology. On the other hand, Arab culture is largely oppressive and literature is often dominated by preaching especially when writers, such as feminists, feel enthusiastic about a case.

Keywords: feminism, didacticism, artistic distance, dramatization, Arabic Literature, English Literature, Virginia Woolf, Ghada al-Samman.
