This paper aims at studying realism in the feminist novel in both Jordan and Palestine. It starts by giving a thorough definition of realism and what it means, within exactly the domain of literary criticism. As in other literary trends and approaches, there seems to exist an evident discrepancy among these viewpoints, that is to say in how these schools view realism. Realism appears to be prevalent in the Jordanian and Palestinian novel, as a result of various factors. Furthermore, a number of effects from within the literary movement itself participated in the dominance and the materialization of this trend.
