ABSTRACT

This thesis is concerned with feminist aesthetics carving out the motherist theory in the title The role of women in the Socio–economic development of Nigeria using Buchi Emecheta as an example. It is a common knowledge that most Nigerian culture gives more cognition for the “men” in the society than the women. This study however aims at examining and analysing Emecheta’s text The Joys of Motherhood, written by Buchi Emecheta, as it enumerates in themes, characterisations and plot construction. This study shows the travails of a women being subjected by her tradition. It also how the culture of a society gives more room for the man than the woman. Nigerian women however in their society has proved to be more than bench warming spectators, even in the midst of their male dominated professional congregations. This research is aimed at promoting further related feminist studies in Literature.
