ALBERT-MUGAMBI RUTERE published this work as part of a team: Rutere, Albert Mugambi. Here is a description of this work: This is study attempts to examine women's reaction to patriarchal power in the selected novels of Ngugi Wa Thiong'o. Specifically, the study analyses Ngugi's Weep Not, Child, The River Between, A Grain of Wheat, Petals of Blood, Devil on the Cross, and Wizard of the Crow while paying attention to various strategies which women use to respond to patriarchy. First and foremost, this study establishes a universal canvas of patriarchy, in order to show how this problem is an historical stumbling block to women's progress in most cultures, while justifying the war which women wage against this menace. Moreover, the study exposes the patriarchal challenges and constraints which women face in deconstructing patriarchy in the aforementioned works. However, this study argues that the success of women's struggle against patriarchy will be possible if women take the initiative.
