As technology advanced and industrial societies began to emerge, it was anticipated that humanity—relying on scientific achievements—would realize its long-standing aspiration of building a better world. However, despite benefiting from the manifestations of modernity, many Third World societies failed to bring prosperity and well-being to their nations. This study examines the anti-utopian (dystopian) perspective in the poetry of contemporary Muslim Arab women. Unlike utopian studies, anti-utopian literature critiques existing socio-political realities and inspires transformative thought toward a more just society. This interdisciplinary research—rooted in the emerging field of dystopian poetics—explores the expression of social and existential crises through poetic discourse. Adopting a descriptive-analytical methodology, this article investigates how Arab women poets portray dystopian themes as a response to oppression, war, and the absence of fundamental freedoms. The findings suggest that, across various national contexts, themes such as war, injustice, and the suppression of freedoms are central to the construction of an “Arab dystopia” in the poetic imagination of Arab women writers.
