Academic scholars over the last few decades, in feminist studies, sociology, and other fields of study in human science have paid enormous attention to gender issues mainly the so called “gender identity”. The present paper will in the literary field extend the debateable subject by investigating the social inequalities linked to gender and class in the Arab and American societies. Marxist-feminist criticism will be the method of analysis according to which gender is a socially developed ideology that is reflected in the societal and cultural practices. This paper will shed light on the Arab-American literature with special reference to Ahlam Mostaghanemi’s The Black Fits you and Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl to project the social issues of gender equality and gender identity.
