Abstract
This article will examine the relations of an African woman to explain female unity in the face of male power and slavery in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's writings.One of the Nigerian women novelists in African literature is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Themes of male domination, female subjugation, gender discrimination and governmental issues affecting African and Afro-American women are all portrayed in her fiction.Most of the characters of Adichie are then looked at in terms of gender subjugation. By highlighting some of the difficulties that these women face in her fiction, Adichie attempts to reframe the postcolonial interpretation of black women's identity. The goal of Adichie's fiction is to expand current African commentary on race, gender, and identity concerns.Adichie discusses her justifications for helping to promote feminism and gender equality in her recent books, Dear Ijeawele, Or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestionsand We Should All Be Feminists. The main aspects of female characters in Adichie's Purple Hibiscus are discussed in this article.
