| dc.description.abstract | This present dissertation is a comparative study of two literary works: Mariama Bâ So Long a Letter (1979) and Sefi Atta Everything Good Will Come (2005). This study aims to show how the two authors liberate their female central figures. To achieve our purpose, we have relied on bell hooks’ Feminist Theory: From Margine to Center (1984) and Alice Walker’s Womanism, developed in her collection of essays In Search of Our Mothers Garden: Womanist Prose (1983). Our dissertation first focus is the role of Education and Female Solidarity in liberating women in Africa. The discussion section, initiates with the significance of education as a means of liberation by closely analyzing the main character’s ability to challenge traditional norms and modernity and see how their education empowers women to gain their independence and it examines women’s solidarity in both works. One of the basic findings of this research is that both novels depict the characters Aissaitou from So Long a Letter and Enitan from Everything Good Will Come utilizing their education to challenge traditional gender roles. The second finding reveals that both novels emphasize on female solidarity in empowering women. Through the analysis of Mariama Bâ and Seffi Atta’s works, our dissertation explores the similarities and differences between So Long a Letter and Everything Good Will Come. | |
