  ABSTRACT: This research aims to examine the entrenched gender-based violence encompassing issues such as domestic abuse, societal oppression, and the psychological toll of gender-based expectations. Simultaneously, it explores the emergence of a new female archetype while assessing how female writers engage with prevailing societal norms, deconstruct stereotypes, and redefine the portrayal of African women. Rooted in feminist scholarly frameworks, the research concentrates on the significant role played by female African writers. Notably, Buchi Emecheta’s “The Bride Price” and “The Joy of Motherhood” serve as focal points to exemplify how postcolonial female authors engage in deconstructing the patriarchal narrative and challenging prevailing stereotypes.
