Abstract: Since the 60s, Kishwar Naheed has been the leading feminist author in the Urdu canon. Kishwar’s life and writings bear a striking resemblance. She is not only a progressive author but also a considerable women's rights activist. She has constantly raised her voice to address the plight of suppressed and insecure women in every corner of the world. The feminist worldview has been thoroughly propagated in her verse and prose. As a witness to the pathetic plight of women, Naheed raises and spreads her voice through the weapon of poetry to stand against the suppression of women and to endeavor for justice, freedom, and equality in the world of masculinity. Simone and her companion Sartre became famous for their existential ideas. Kishwar Naheed translated The Second Sex into Urdu in the year 1982. In this article, the general conceptualization regarding the aforementioned ideologue will be determined in the light of her translations which appear to be the strong voice of women's freedom and equality in every aspect of life.
