The present article focuses on the first novel of contemporary Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus (2003). It presents a reading of Adichie’s novel, Purple Hibiscus as a quintessential African feminist novel, negating female aesthetics of suffering and sustaining the aesthetics of women empowerment, Kambili’s, the young protagonist’s life illustrates a coherent retaliation to the challenges of life in a postcolonial African nation as the novel pays attention to the different forms of persecution in the lives of women in postcolonial Nigerian society. Adichie’s approach to overthrow male oppression confirms that despite the struggles, women declare themselves in a world dominated by men through education and female unanimity. Her novel suggests women empowerment through social transformation by which the different forms of oppression, exploitation, exculsion and silencing are challenging by women promoting gender equality. The title of the novel, “Purple Hibiscus” may refer to a particular sort of flower, but is also highlight the triumph of the innovative suggesting that the curious is not necessarily bad as the sub version of genders aims to bring equality among the sexes promoting new awakening.
