Rebellion has been defined as a prominent feature in the industry of Arabic literature due to the radical changes that it lends across the different ages taking several forms, as depicted by Arab poems from the Pre-Islamic (Jahjiliya) ages through the Islamic and Abbasid ages, reaching the modern age, where the features of the rebellion have become clear and visible in a mature and clear manner. However, al-Saʾalik poetry is one of the most prominent revolutionary forms in the pre-Islamic era. Their poems carried all manifestations of rebellion, and in this era, the poetry of the Muʿallaqat became popular in this era, and is still considered among the finest poetry that the Arabs saidwhen a category of them appeared, known as "Saʿalīk poets", who rebelled against the tribe system in all its sides as the Suʿluk poet used to choose a literary form in his poetry through which he conveys his rebellion against the tribe's regime, which confirms the existence of the roots of rebellion in Arabic literature. The study into the phenomenon of rebellion in women's writing and the manifestations of creativity reflects the psychological harm and social bullying practiced by the male category towards women, which has created opposite dualities between men and women and society, as well as between women and customs, traditions, and others. It also reflects how the woman has tried to make her own writing path, in which she addressed her most prominent issues. Therefore, the rebellion in feminist literature can be seen as an attempt to highlight a literary color that focuses on the woman, her specificities, and her identity as an independent entity that has its own presence.
