A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS 0F AFRICANA WOMEN’S CONCEPTIONS OF MARRIAGE IN AMA ATA AIDOO’S CHANGES: A LOVE STORY. (1991).

Abstract

Contemporary African women writers shift from a “deconstruction” project to a larger “reconstruction” of the society through modern females’ life and experiences. Wilson-Tag asserts that African women’s writings are marked by gender perspectives that are mediated by history, culture and class (Wilson-tagoe: 1997:14). This article depicts the African women, with western education, who exercise a measure of authority over their bodies in their marriages. Feminists’ theories inherited from western countries and women’s financial independence are the causes of most marriages failure.
