- W2993201034 abstract "There is a moral and intellectual responsibility to understand how and why women lose touch with reality and how this malady can be prevented. African and African American women writers have addressed the theme of madness in literary texts. This review paper looks at four texts: Bessie Heads A question of Power Buchi Emechetas joys of Motherhood Ama Ataa Aidoos Anowa and Alice Walkers Possessing the Secret of Joy. It attempts to define madness from a literary perspective and analyze the circumstances that lead to main protagonists failure to cope with life and reality. The selected texts make it clear that madness is a common problem among African women. The paper identifies patriarchy as a social institution which functions according to principal that man shall dominate female and migrations to new societies as the primary causes of madness of African women; women who otherwise would have been powerful figures in society.
