threat of sexual misconduct” (Kane,2016b). Additionally, two sections of Weaver’s bill were removed from the Bill that received royal assent.

This chapter is going to shed light on two distinctive feminist standpoint theorists: Dorothy E. Smith and Patricia Hill Collins. Among other feminist standpoint theorists, the feminist critiques of these two women stand out for me as applicable when analyzing Umm Zakiyyah's trilogy If I Should Speak.
