In his work, which reflects her ideologies in defending the status of women, she spoke of the identification, independence and rebellion of a young girl who observing the facts of the family and society, she seeks to break the constraints and prove her independence and strives to restore her identity which caught up in tradition. The present research seeks to study the existentialist feminism of the novel through a descriptive-analytical method. The results of the research indicate that Layla Balabakki, under the influence of the existentialist philosophy, and in particular of Jean Paul Sartre's, has been able to use it to reflect the issues of women in different dimensions.
