Abstract EN
This paper examines the postcolonial African woman’s issues addressed by Flora Nwapa in her three selected novels: Efuru (1966), One is Enough (1981), and Women are Different (1986).
Mainly, the paper aims at investigating the Male Dominance to African women as an issue that is influenced by customs and traditions, both past and present and Nwapa how intends to create awareness in women by appealing to them realistically, thoughtfully, and emotionally through her writings to find suitable solutions.
The paper came out with findings that the most prominent issues that face African women are: patriarchy, marriage, infertility, polygamy, female education, and financially independent woman.
Since women's roles are largely dictated by cultural expectations, the root cause of African women’s suffering is patriarchy.
