A Feminist Approach to Buchi Emecheta's the Bride Price

Abstract	One of Buchi Emecheta’s well-known contemporary books, The Bride Price, features the voice of a female character. The paper discusses two topics: first is patriarchal society, in which women suffer and end up being the sole victims, and the second is African culture, which Emecheta harshly criticises. Men have complete authority over the entire family. The traditional African community adheres to its customs, especially when it comes to paying the bride from the groom's family. In certain ways, the study will identify and further explain the notion of "double colonisation" put out by Peterson and Rutherford (1986). It also reveals some cultural overlap between the two nations. Emecheta's female protagonists go through a painful experience in which they are dominated by two colonisers: the power of males and the actuality of colonisation by using the "double colonisation" idea.
