Anotace knihy

This book explores the images of women in African§oral literature. For girl children in particular, the§images of women are seen as performing the role of§training the girl child into patriarchal society's §ideal woman-described in this book as "the virtuous§woman." This is §the kind of woman who is not aggressive but coy; not§boisterous but §quiet;not assertive but compromising, therefore§easily contained §within the male armpit. Using Abakhayo oral poetry as§its case §study, this work lays bare society's view of women§and girl children. §In particular, the work serves as an eye-opener to§the patriarchal §society's expectations of women and the attempt to§nurture them §towards the very expectations. After reading through§this book one §learns that women in a patriarchal African setup are§as a matter of §speaking, stateless. The book is recommended for§scholars, §students and researchers in Oral Literature,§Sociology, Gender §Studies and Anthropology at universities and other§tertiary §institutions.
