This study looks at Salman Rushdie's fiction and nonfiction through the critical lens of feminist poststructuralism, with a focus on discourse construction, deconstruction, and identity distress. Using theoretical frameworks developed by thinkers such as Judith Butler, Hélène Cixous, and Michel Foucault, the study looks at how Rushdie's stories challenge traditional notions of gender, culture, and self. The analysis focuses on Rushdie's use of language, narrative fragmentation, and magical realism to expose and critique patriarchal and colonial discourses. Postcolonial and diasporic contexts emphasize women's representation, marginalized voices, and identity fluidity. This interdisciplinary approach demonstrates how Rushdie's works are a rich source of feminist criticism, advancing postcolonial and literary theory discussions. The study concludes that Rushdie's writing not only reflects but actively confronts the complexities of contemporary identity, power, and expression.
