Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 01
Abstract
This paper attempts a feminist appraisal of Tess Onwueme’s The Reign of Wazobia. It begins with discussing the stereotypical portrayal of women in male-authored works and the tenets of feminism. The work attempts to answer some feminist questions postulated by Ann Dobie to analyze a feminist text. The study discusses the text by analyzing stereotypes of women, how the male characters talk about women, the treatment of female characters by male characters, and socially and politically powerful characters in the text. The study concludes that women are capable and can perform better when they lead. They should be educated and empowered economically.
