Gender stereotyping is a cross cultural phenomenon prevalent across
boarders regardless of religion, ethnicity or color. The nature and
the negative impact of such stereotyping are more pronounced in
poorest countries like Africa where development, education, access
to media and awareness are scarce. The prevalence of such
stereotyping in the continent is the reason which compelled the
researcher to engage in studying the contribution of feminist
African writers in this regard. This study primarily focuses on
investigating the extent of the reflection of embedded gender
stereotyping and the degree of females' resistance to such
stereotyping by feminist African writers, also tries to asses the
significance of the novels in eliminating this stereotyping. This
study has shown that the availability of novels which address the
most important problems of femininity like economic dependency,
societal rejection, non political participation, etc. However
important raising these issues in the novels and the writer is a
feminist one is for feminists, the novels have some embedded
patriarchal touches which have been exemplified the characters.
