Abstract:

The wild zone represents the activities, experiences, and feelings of women that historians or male writers do not touch on. A gynocriticframes a cultural model of female literary identity that is inclusive of the biological, linguistic, andpsychological situation of women in society.Following the perspective of Showalter’s gynocriticism, the main concentrate of the present study is on the internalized consciousness or the experiences of the hidden space of Lisa Soland’s heroines in her Ten-Minute plays. The main reason for choosing these short plays is first, because the writer is a woman. Second, she is persistent enough in writing about women’s experiences in their socio-cultural context.The main finding of the research is that Soland, digging deep into the female wild zone, establishes a counter-culture based on self-confidence and assertiveness. She advocates an encouraging attitude to elevate female consciousness.
