| dc.description.abstract | The present research paper studies the issue of the image of Nigerian women in the works of the two writers Flora Nwapa’s Efuru (1966), and Chimamanda Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus (2003). It studies the representation of women through both female and male characters of the two novels. It deals mainly with the damage of patriarchy on both genders and the resilience of women to face this obstacle, relying on Simone De Beauvoir work The Second Sex (1949). These two novels are chosen for the powerful messages they hide but also for the impressive impact they leave in the reader’s mind. Our investigation of the issue under study has led us to some findings. Both Nwapa and Adichie converge on the depiction of Nigerian women as being fearless fighters of patriarchy. Both novelists depict women’s struggle to be independent in a society that aspires to leave them stranded. | en |
