ABSTRACT

Genderism, an apt neologism for gender equilibrium in literary discourse and creativity is a sequel to feminism following the emergence of gender studies in the last quarter of the twentieth century.

Since 1975 â€“ declared by the United Nations as the international womenâ€™s year, there has been an uprising in the global ferment of female activism which through all fields of human endeavour, from the art of politics to the politics of arts. Feminism was initially founded on the shifty grounds of a superfluous doctrine tagged womenâ€™s liberation before being firmly anchored on the ideology of women empowerment and self â€“ determination in all spheres of life.

Harold smith (1990: 1-4), feminism as an ideology attempts to improve the status of women. So this research work talks of feminism, the level at which this struggle has been imbibed into our culture and the areas untouched. We look forward to explore

feminism as in the African content using most of less on womenâ€™s plays as a minor into the society.
