| Summary: | Feminism as a movement has adapted/changed as time goes by and contemporary literature produced by female African writers has recently offered a locus to assess how the movement has favoured the field.

My aim is to discuss how feminism, in its close-knit relationship with postcolonialism, dialogues with the aforementioned literature to offer some reflection upon the position of the woman as a doubly colonised subject, with special attention to questions of identity. |
