Abstract: All over the world, women face gender inequity that leaves a physical and mental scar that is tough to eradicate. During the late nineteenth century, women were confined to their homes and treated differently than men. Women are aware of their value and are still fighting for their rights for a long time because they have not achieved their desirable place yet. Though this bias against women is outdated, it varies from country to country. Arab women writer Nawal El Sadawi’s Woman at Point Zero (WPZ) is the first woman to address genital mutilation through her novels publicly. The novel comprises sex, love, marriage, productivity, and divorce. This is because women were distinguished by rules and culture two centuries ago in Egypt. The novel Women at Point Zero analyzes the devaluation of the female gender. Therefore, it reveals the fact that men are still dominating women. In all her novels, the principal characters differ in background, status, education, and upbringing. But they all possess similar traits: all women who have been abused and oppressed in some way or another by their respective society that endeavors to project women as incapable and weak. Hence this article entitled “ The Cultural Impact and Issues of Female Genital Mutilation in Nawal El Saadawi’s Woman at Point Zero” creates a bridge to close the void that women are united regardless of different countries or races they belong to, through the agony that causes gender-based discrimination.
