Abstract
This paper presents modern perceptions of the time concept in the Palestinian woman's novel. It adopts the Gerard Genet method in rehashing and observing the time through three classifications: arrangement, permanence and frequency. In addition, it examines relations of symmetry and difference between the sequential chronological system of facts in the narrative text, and the phony chronological system for arranging them by the narrator. The research is concerned with observing the time distortions resulting from the nature of these relations, which explain the success of Palestinian women writers in shaping the events of their novels with a special vision, utilizing techniques from the modern novel, relying on frequenting texture of their stories, and stirring the recipient's avidity. This vision shows how well these women are aware of the requirements of reality and the changes of time, and how they can show the beauty around them, observe feelings, defend women’s views and highlight public-home concerns generally, and their own concerns through using modern narrative techniques.
