The Bequest of Buchi Emecheta in ‘The Joys of Motherhood’
Journal Title: Notions A Journal of English Literature - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
Buchi Emecheta is one of Nigeria’s major unique female writer. Her legacy has made a way of motivation for modern Nigerian female journalists. This paper expects to examine her compositions, concentrating on the two womanist portrayals of Nigerian female characters. All things considered, a standard examination of Emecheta’s works, especially ‘The Joys of Motherhood’ (1979) uncover Nigerian women characters who demand recommended understandings of their functions as a ‘female’, ‘spouse’ and ‘mother’. Emecheta’s women portrayals build up a sect of women, who are solid, stubborn and engaged in spite of their shifted conditions, a depiction deserving of aspiration.
