CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION      

  Man  has  often  been  the  very  type  of  humanity  that  is  recognized.  Every society sees woman as relative to man. The patriarchal system gave rise  to  the  term  feminism.  From  time  immemorial  women  have  been subjugated, oppressed and humiliated. Women have been seen as a second, a wife and rearer of children and nothing more.        Feminism  as  an  advocate  for  the  emancipation  of  women  from oppression  comes  in  to  loosen  the  grip  of  culture  and  political  norms restricting women. It portrays womanhood in a struggle for self-liberation, independence and courage for self and societal growth. Through feminism the societal roles imposed on women are brought to light. These roles have restricted women from discovering their true selves and potentials.        However,  Neshani  Andreas’s  The  Purple  Violet  of  Oshaantu  and Binwell  Sinyangwe’s  A  Cowrie  of  Hope  work  hand  in  hand  with  the ideology of  feminism in  examining  the oppression  and the  struggle of the African  woman  and  promoting  the  awareness  of  female  educational development  as  a  tool  for  the  enhancement  of  the  socio-political  and economic  empowerment  of  the  African  woman.  African cultures have always subjected women to oppression, depression, undue victimization and suppression.  Feminism makes explicit the idea that African culture is the platform on which patriarchy manifests. It aims at identifying the loopholes in African culture and the society at large.
