This paper examines the evolution of traditional female roles in Nigerian Women’s writing.

female authors from two different generations, Flora Nwapa, Efuru (1966) and Buchi Emecheta
The Joys of Motherhood (1979). From the patriarchal discourse in the subsequent years of
postcolonialism, an evaluation can be observed in how marriage and motherhood has been
developed. Efuru explores the possible alternative to motherhood and marriage offering a
women-independent solution, achieving fulfillment from their own election, not only in the fact
of conceiving children but also in the election of marriage. Ironically, The Joys of Motherhood is an

collective nor answer their demands. [-]
