Konu(lar): Özet: 'ABSTRACT Feminism is an ideology or movement for the emancipation of women from the vestiges of oppression, marginalization, and inequality. There are severe attempts by some hard-core Africanist scholars to stamp out feminism and its values from the African scholarship. To this end, progressive feminist scholarship is ongoing, particularly in phallocentric Africa, to help validate the experiences of African women and establish equal rights for them politically, economically, educationally, socially, and even personally. African women have had their share of both colonial and indigenous problems and are now poised to solve these problems through veritable scholarship. With an encouraging influx of women writers into the African literary clan that had once been dominated by patriarchs, the essence of the African woman is rewritten in a better light. This dissertation thus focuses on feminist consciousness within the complex phallocentric African expression. However, it explores explicitly Buchi Emecheta\'s 'The Joys of Motherhood' reliving vital feministic issues raised in work. The Joys of Motherhood highlights Emecheta\'s critical attitude towards imperialism, racism, and phallocentricism affecting the individualities of African women. Key Words: Phallocentric, Marginalization, Feminist Consciousness, Imperialism'
