In all African societies women face several kinds of humiliation under the yoke of patriarchy: marginalization, subjugation, oppression, submission and all kinds of domestic violence. Many of them are doomed to an everlasting silence. Many female writers in their various literary works denounced, criticized and gave voices to the voiceless and uncovered the supremacy of men under which women live. Through Purple Hibiscus (2006) a novel by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on which is based my paper, the author uses a female voice to explore the horrible conditions of African women. By the same way, through the instrumentalization of a strong and educated revolutionary female character she shows how women should keep their voice high in the gathering of men and make themselves heard. The aim of this paper is to steal a critical glance at patriarchy and all its forms of domination of African women in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus.
