1. The Women’s City,a revolution of a novelist who’s keenly examined his era.
2. 

The Women’s City is a turning point in writing since it has cut off with both the classic style and thought in literature generally and novel precisely.Indeed, Lamine Saidi the novelist could unveil such world of stillness and neglect by scrutinizing on one hand the Arab personality in their daily struggle against life concerns and on the other hand their inner conflicts.Man who longs for freedom and dreams of happiness is undoubtedly in need for another world that would trigger his or her suspicion and perplexity for destruction and rebuild.That world would be definitely drawn by the author who meets Man’ desires and expectations.

Actually, Lamine Saidi in his novel ,The Women’s City,has keenly grasped those specificities of both the countryside and town with his different and amazing viewpoint that urges Man to live in harmony and love with place thanks to such touch of beauty drawn by the novelist on the place.In fact ,he knows well the inner sides of his characters as related to time which urges for a deep change in approaches so that Man gets rid of a helpless past that does not fit the contemporary Man.
Therefore,this novel is definitely to this era’s art in style,tongue and thoughts.It gives birth to a new entity that contributes to the security of Man in this age.It also offers a great outlook that is in harmony with our current time.
As far as the issue of women is concerned , the writer in The Women’s City anticipates for a great future in

societies where women would lead them towards liberation ,justice and perfection since he strongly believes woman is the core of every new act in life.Indeed, she draws her worlds twice at the beginning of the novel when Safouan and Zouhour started the journey and the end when women gathered altogether.The novel hence ends up with a thought and dream mingled with a philosopher’s wisdom who expects a future prevailed by justice,equality,beauty and liberation led by woman in the globe.
Briefly, Lamine Saidi in The Women’s City launches a cutoff from the past in all its features ,and sets up a revolution precisely in novel and in literature on the whole.
