Abstract

This research aims at analysing literature produced by African women as means of resistance to those structures oppressing women and hindering the economical development in the African continent, i.e. the authoritarianism of African patriarchy, the influences of Western culture and the neocolonialism, bringing forward the theme of an African feminist movement which proposes the liberation of Africa and African women.
