Abstract This study presents a postcolonial feminist analysis of Khaled Hosseini’s A Thousand Splendid Suns, examining how Afghan women’s lives are shaped by the intersection of gender, class, ethnicity, marriage, and political power. Drawing on postcolonial feminist theory and intersectionality, particularly the work of Spivak and Mohanty, the analysis situates the novel within Afghanistan’s socio-historical context of colonial intervention, militarization, and patriarchal consolidation.
