- Summary
- "[This book] is a research effort by the author, originally as "Ideology, power and powerlessness in female creativity", using Tess Onwueme's plays as a case study. An original and very insightful study, it throws light on female creativity within the sociological matrix of contemporary Africa. The analysis is done with the ideological framework of feminism and womanism with the aim of arousing female consciousness to be more alive to the societal biases that deny them their dignity and womanhood. [This work] is part of a corpus of the on-going battle by female writers and critics to narrow the gap of male dominance in dramatic creativity and appreciation in Africa."--p. 4 of cover.
