It is known that liberal feminism itself is a form of feminism that argues that equality for women can be achieved through legal means and social reform. Liberal feminism leans towards an equality or sameness argument with men. Liberal feminism is an individualistic form of feminist theory, which focuses on women"s ability to maintain their equality through their own actions and choices.

First the Outcast novel from the perspective of anxiety tells us about the anxiety that is faced by a human where in this case is a woman with the problem on her life. Discrimination is "the differential treatment of individuals considered to belong to a particular social group. To treat a member of a subordinate group as inferior is to discriminate against that person. Members of dominant group tend to use one standard of behavior among themselves and a different standard for any member of a subordinate group. The difference of a faithful sometimes makes a group of people fell about discrimination. From discrimination, it will arise an anxiety; people tend to fell afraid with their own way. Therefore, anxiety is concern and fear especially about what might happen (Hornby, 1995). Anxiety is an ego function which alerts the person to sources to impending danger that must be counteracted or avoided. As such, anxiety enables the person top react to threatening situation in an adaptive way (Freud, in Hjelle and Ziegler, 1992). The anxiety of Maryam appears in three forms, realistic anxiety, neurotic anxiety and moral anxiety.
The second is the Outcast novel from the perspective of marriage norm.
Everyone who has a relationship certainty wants to marry with her/his couple, to The four is the Outcast novel from the perspective of traumatic experiences. Traumatic experience must have been experienced by almost everyone, but in different level.

Liberal feminism majorly affects our understanding of the equality or the sameness argument between men and woman. A liberal feminism will be easy to woman to fight an injustice. In this novel Maryam chooses and says her way briefly. In the other hand if there is no liberal feminism, a woman does not has any occasion to choose something. Hence, liberal feminism is an important factor which contributes woman social life.
Based on the explanation above we can say that it is important for a woman to participate in fighting the injustice so that there is no social problem, social discrimination, criminality, educations, religion, economic and business, anxiety, psychoanalytic, traumatic experiences, sacrifice, and marriage norm. Let us find out more about the role of liberal feminismin society and how it affects for protests against injustice towards an Ahmadi"s organization in the outcast novel story.

The Outcast
Her mother climed in. "It"s better not to get involved with outsiders. You might both regret it, you"ll both get hurt. It"s best to end it now." Maryam got angry. She was beyond fed up. She had been patient for far too long. For years she had always tried to do as her parents said-go out with and marry someone from the same community, one of their own. But how could she tell her heart who to fall in love with? How could she resist if her heart choose to love someone else?
Did they want to see their daughter never get married? Did they want to see their daughter get hurt because she couldn"t marry the person she loved? That night Maryam gave vent to her anger. She poured out all the feelings that she had been suppressing for years. (Outcast/Madasari/p.13) Her father grew even angrier. He asked Maryam to return home with them.
"There are many good men in our village!" he said. "Those who have been taught and raised the same way would respect and love you better than outsiders who believe they"re always right." (Outcast/Madasari/p.13) The first story tells about liberal feminism. Where Maryam has freedom to chose someone she loves. Whereas in the second story shows that Maryam should choose the man who has the same belief because her father thinks that an outsider will not accept what they are belief.
Maryam didn"t answer straight away. In truth, she was disappointed with him. Did he really have to tell his parents that she was an Ahmadi? Why did he regard this difference between them as so important? If they hadn"t said anything, no one would have been any the wiser. And why should Alam"s parents ask her to leave her faith and follow her husband"s? they essentially had the same religion, after all. (Outcast/Madasasri/p.31)

Picking Up the Scraps
Let this mosque belong to us, and let the other mosques belong to others.
Thus, Maryam"s family would only pray at their mosques, and never let the others take over this mosque. That was what Maryam always heard since she was young.

Every Ahmadi child, like Fatimah-since they attended the elementary school-had been through the confusion, sadness, and fear when they found the label of "misguided" on the faith they had been taught. As experienced by Maryam and made her cry for days in her room. But that was just a natural process. (Outcast/Madasari/p.63) But the gratitude turned into anger, when Fatimah gave her father a letter from her teacher. The religion teacher told him everything through the letter. He insulted and blasphemed through the writing. He said, he never changed his mind.
That Fatimah was a lost soul, she didn"t deserve the mark until she repented for her sin. (Outcast/Madasari/p.67)

The United
….Maryam walked along the houses. She didn"t hesitate nor embarrassed.
The conversation she had with Jamil and Zulkhair had removed all of her feelings, except the urge to meet her family. (Outcast/Madasari/p.73) Maryam felt Alam"s family was never able to accept her. She felt that the good actions they showed were just a con. They thought of her as an outsider, a stranger. In her mind, Alam"s family would always see her as a lost soul who would never change although she pronounced thousand of atonements.

Putting the Pieces Together
Maryam"s father said, "A wife is supposed to follow her husband." (Outcast/Maryam/p.147)

Framing Hope
"This village is calm now. Everyone lives harmoniously and peacefully.
I"m asking you, don"t bother us anymore,"Rohmat said.
"What do you mean?" Maryam answered in a high voice. She widened her eyes.
