Identity as a notion is necessary for sustenance and the perpetuation of any human realm. The Representation of female identity in the male-authored world has always been a contemporary feature of discourse in African literature. The paper explores Ngugi Wa Thiong’o womanist concerns as he opens up new conceptual space in his novels since the beginning. In his novels, he displaces a prescriptive model of female identity and creates new women. Women characters are not only defined in terms of their relationship with man or society but rather it is through women that he represents the deplorable state of capitalism, the epitome of past African glory. The paper further discusses how Ngugi in his novels asserts new colonial women as an individual agency in a world where the colonial masters are not her perpetrators anymore but her own black native companions. The paper attempts to focus on women as a real subject and explore the image of women in African society through selected novels by Ngugi Wa Thiong’o.
