What does it mean to be a woman in a world ruled by archaic laws and traditions? How could you express yourself as a woman, through voice or through silence? The purpose of the present paper is to examine "voice" and "silence" in postcolonial literary texts. In some works written by postcolonial writers, silence connects issues of language to national character,. such is the prescription given to colonial females by social gender role or racial role, and it is also the form colonial writers use to revolt against such a prescription. It is fair to say that the silence postcolonial writers used in their works is actually a sound "silence", their pens make such a sound of "silence" resound in the world of letters. Thence, "silence" is no longer "silent"; the colonial females seen in the "silence" in postcolonial texts are in fact crying revolt against mainstream society from the periphery where they subsist. Owing to different national and cultural backgrounds, silence is manifested in different forms by different writers who use silence to express different meanings. Women, in society and in fiction of Anita Desai and Atiq Rahimi, are marginalized creatures who use "silence" and "voice" to express their marginalized status of sexual exiles.
