Buchi Emecheta's The Joys of Motherhood as an African Feminist Text

The pleasure of Buchi Emecheta as mother of feminist text in Africa When I first read Buchi Emecheta's "Motherhood Joy", I soon felt delighted - In this novel, I finally got it after colonial period colonial period I met life in Africa. Female hero. I was absent from work with my own hands and provided names and sounds for the silence of African male writers such as Chinusa Cave, a forgotten mother, and a novelist's co-wife. Since women are doubly alienated, I think that Emecheta can glimpse a demanding world more than African women's world, African men's world.

In the novel by Buchi Emecheta "Motherhood of Joy", the main character Nnu Ego shows the meaning of becoming a woman and a mother in Nigerian society. In addition, Emmetcha explores the idea that women with child-bearing abilities are the only way to define femininity and femininity in the novel. However, "female pleasure" played two important roles for women at the time. First, even as society changes, some women still maintain the traditional role, customs and values ​​of Lagos City. At the same time, they broke the standard of feminist theory. Second, the novel understands certain aspects of feminist theory and encourages women to achieve social equality between men and women. However, during that time men still dominated women.

Buchi Emecheta was one of the first African female novelists to tackle their struggle issues for female status, self-actualization and liberation. Her novel "Motherhood of Motherhood" is exploring the positive and negative impacts modernization has on women and their imprisonment between tradition and change. Through the story of the hero's Nnu Ego, she also shows how to distinguish the second ranked place of women, children's producers, and social pyramids, where strict traditions are considered male assets It is.

Buchi Emecheta's "pleasure of women" and Tsitsi Dangarembga's tension has reduced the status of women. Since the Victorian era, the decline of the status of women has become an impediment to the development of society. A considerable number of authors wrote various novels depicting this tragic situation such as "female pleasure" by Buchi Emecheta and "neuropathy" by Tsitsi Dangarembga. Choosing to compare these two novels gets a good approach and their hero encounters the same problem despite many differences.
