To reach the purpose of this work, and to figure out how gender is constructed in the Kabyle society some recurrent themes, characters, and images be they implicit or explicit- in the folktales – have been spotted and analyzed from a gender perspective. The analysis aims at shedding the light on how gender is constructed, and mainly how females are represented, considered and conditioned in the Kabyle society. That is to say, born from folktales which are created and produced by women and grandmothers in order not only to entertain their children and their entourage, but also to convey messages and express themselves. The aim of this study is to identify and to decipher the gender hierarchies, and social divisions based on gender from discourses born and created within the Kabyle culture, and by the actors of tradition themselves.
