It was never easy to be a woman in a society of any ethnicity or demography, but it can get worse for them if dystopia arrives in the so-called progressive world of the twenty-first century. This paper tries to explore this dark side of the world which can come true if the political and social powers go anarchic in the ruling governments of a nation. An analysis of female oppression due to gender politics in dystopian societies in the works of the contemporary feminist dystopian genre. A study to understand if women are already fighting for their basic rights of gender equality and safety and how nightmarish things can get for them in such dystopian societies. What roles will be assigned and defined for women in dystopian societies to politically repress them. I have tried to look at and understand this question through two contemporary novels, Leila by Prayag Akbar and Before she sleeps by Bina Shah. How feminist dystopian literature captures the rage and anxiety of women. Dystopias often stem from current issues. They take elements from the present and distort them in every possible way. What fascinates me, however, is how most dystopian narratives seem to revolve around women in one of both ways: either they are at the center of the abuse, or they are leading the rebels against it.
