The broader aim of this research is to reveal the prevailing narratives
and power dynamics which encase women and influence their identity construction in postcolonial Pakistan. The paper aims to theoretically analyze the
condition and situation of women in contemporary Pakistani society through a
post-structural feminist standpoint. Grounded in post-structural theories of
gender, power, and identity the present study provides an overview of sociocultural forces which impact the life, education, and economic empowerment
of women. More broadly, this analysis clarifies the basis of inequality in Pakistani society along with a variety of related notions which demarcate gender
disparity in the society; such as sociocultural traditions and discriminatory
laws. The assessment suggest that the identity of Pakistani women is outlined
by a variety of socio-cultural mores, historical factors and religious causes. The
study highlights the various impediments to gender inequality in Pakistani
society, foremost among them are different kinds of subjugation and discrimination women in different positions have to encounter due to male domination and patriarchal prejudice.
