Abstract
The twentieth century is considered to be the period of flourishing and emergence of women's writing, but women's writing has existed for a long time without the aim of its authors to portray the feminine features of their writing. Women writers gradually addressed issues that were ignored by masculine discourse, with the aim of changing preconceived definitions of women as well as social values. They sought to invent a new language and somehow try to break the masculine language and free themselves from prohibitions. The first step women writers took to break with traditional and masculine language was to destroy what was considered to be the basis of the novel's integrity: time. In fact, literature and novels in particular are considered as the art of processing time, and by analyzing it, one can achieve results in terms of the meaning of the work. In the works of the contemporary French writer Duras, and in the two novels reviewed in this article, The Lover and The Ravishing of Lol V. Stein time is processed in a feminine and modern way. In this article, we study the narrative time in Margarita Duras's writing. Examining the text time, story time, relationships between them and also studying the eclecticism of narrative times, we came to the conclusion that in women's writing, time has a feminine dimension that originates from women's inner characteristics and perception of time and is the result of effort. Women are writers to break the traditional rules and definitions of writing.
