Abstract	This paper dwells on the dealings of the primary characters from Etaf Rum’s novel A Woman is No Man. In Rum's novel, the experiences of three generations of women are alternated, and their family history is woven together across time and viewpoints. The primary focus of the book is on the experiences of Arab women who move abroad and settle in a society that values patriarchy and conservatism. In discussing gender inequality and social consciousness in contemporary culture, the paper emphasises the persistence of predisposition. The constant fear and insecurity of getting surpassed is not limited to men. The expectations from society and family are unbearable and have nothing to do with the opposite gender. The novel depicts the reality of womanhood and its sufferings. The search for self-realisation and identifying one’s potential has evolved tremendously. The liberty of women from diverse cultural backgrounds is gaining firm ground in modern times. Women have begun to recognise their own distinctiveness and consciousness in the wider community. The paper revolves around the importance of education. The only way to balance the scales and give everyone their proper place in the world is to be bold and aware. The main objective is to use writing and artistic endeavours to render her protagonist conscious of their true identities. Women are given self-reliance by feminism, which aids them in their continuous journey towards emancipation. Thus, Etaf's novelistic output provides a useful tool for identifying and confirming one's individuality and place in contemporary culture.
