Multiplicity of identity can result from the displacement that immigrants are exposed to. Those immigrants can be forced or they vulnerably leave their homelands seeking a better life. To overcome the cultural differences and to reach assimilation, immigrants need to dress up into multiple selves whenever needed. It is their way of gaining a voice because they become uprooted in the path of seeking a sense of belonging. Hence, the change of identities mirrors the dilemma of those who suffer from dislocation. The purpose of the present study is to inquire the theme of multiplicity of female identity in Bharati Mukherjee’s Jasmine (1989) and Nora Okja Keller Comfort Woman (1997). Between chasing the American dream to get rid of the society’s restrictions which imprison the female’s true identity and to the migration for the sake of gaining back an erased identity, both novels address the dilemmas that female immigrants face. Hence, the main characters’ multiple identities will be examined with the emphasis on how they can be caught in-between cultures and create a “third space”. Moreover, how do the protagonists keep changing their identities to cope with the difficulties implied on them as third world women immigrants and to prevent being labeled as exotic and the Other.
