High school teaching Women play multiple roles in different domains in a community.

Such oppressions are also reflected in the literary texts. In the Malaysian context, different local fictions have been researched to uncover how the local women have been portrayed. However, in the literary texts which have been used in the literature component for secondary schools, their portrayal is still hidden since most studies conducted in this area have often been on how such texts can be exploited in the classroom.
