GENDER IDEOLOGY AND SOCIAL CRISES IN IFEOMA OKOYE'S BEHIND THE CLOUDS AND MEN WITHOUT EARS (#9722)

ABSTRACT
Academic exploration into gender issues in literature and culture has taken a new dimension. The trends in writings and discourses have been to observe the female sex at domestic background. The roles played by the women as mothers, sisters, custodian, home managers, family maintainers are enumerated through character portrayal in literature. Also, female writers have gone beyond exposing the inequality among females and males in the society as they have started exposing the ills of society thereby correcting them. This essay using the sociologist framework examines the theories of social problems and gender disparity as treated in the novels of Ifeoma Okoye.
