CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION
Man has often been the very type of humanity that is recognized. Every society sees woman as relative to man. The patriarchal system gave rise to the term feminism. From time immemorial women have been subjugated, oppressed and humiliated. Women have been seen as a second, a wife and rearer of children and nothing more. Feminism as an advocate for the emancipation of women from oppression comes in to loosen the grip of culture and political norms restricting women. It portrays womanhood in a struggle for self-liberation, independence and courage for self and societal growth. Through feminism the societal roles imposed on women are brought to light. These roles have restricted women from discovering their true selves and potentials. However, Neshani Andreas’s The Purple Violet of Oshaantu and Binwell Sinyangwe’s A Cowrie of Hope work hand in hand with the ideology of feminism in examining the oppression and the struggle of the African woman and promoting the awareness of female educational development as a tool for the enhancement of the socio-political and economic empowerment of the African woman. African cultures have always subjected women to oppression, depression, undue victimization and suppression. Feminism makes explicit the idea that African culture is the platform on which patriarchy manifests. It aims at identifying the loopholes in African culture and the society at large.
