Summary/Abstract: The present paper casts light on how women are represented in â Algerian literature. Indeed, the Algerian woman is globally an important source that feeds any literature. By relying on an objective approach of the figures of Algerian women, we can draw an image of them, which Algerian historians and novelists depict. In fact, History is a gateway to know about the heroic role of women and its symbols and makes it necessary to recall their involvement and contribution to History. This is the example of Queen Kahina.
