Abstract

Patriarchy; that slanted aspect of culture, which accords the males superiority over the females, virtually since creation, continues to rear its ugly head in literary creativity despite the on-going global socio-cultural re-orientation concerning gender imbalance. Employing the Marxist and Womanist theories, this paper attempts to critically examine how women are involved and recognized in achieving the ideals sought for in YoruÌ€baÌ written protest plays.
