Individuality, Identity, gender stereotype, patriarchy

Flora Nwapa’s Efuru is a perfect reflection of the values of the Igbo society that is made in accordance to the man’s pleasure and happiness. The privileges of African men have resulted in erasure of identities and subjectivity of women. African women writers have used rhetorical and performative techniques to recreate the cultural oblivion in an effort to correct the injustice and assert their individuality. But throughout the process, a number of cultural norms, such as their maternal roles, serve as constant roadblocks to force them back into their expected positions as inferior beings. As a result, in the narratives of both the racial colonialists and the early male-authored African literature, African women were seen through a bio-essential lens. The women writers of Africa have comprehensively addressed this rooted construction that subordinates and marginalises black women by illustrating empowered black women who reject and challenge the chauvinist gender stereotypes and social roles established by the patriarchal society modelled after the colonising culture.
