Educational Empowerment As A Tool For Women’s Economic Liberation In Akachi Adimoraezeigbo’s Selected Novels..pdf

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The pursuit of education and socio-economic liberation foregrounds the thrust of Ezeigbo’s selected novels. This paper raises these vital issues as it affects female characters in the novel. Hinged on the feminist framework, the study reveals Ezeigbo’s sensitivity to the plight of women in patriarchal/traditional African societies and places these heroines in the positions of vocality, visibility, economic liberation, and self-actualization via the instrumentality of education. This paper therefore argues that, educational empowerment is pivotal to the economic growth and liberation of women in Nigeria and at large, therefore every member of the society must come together to support female education as this will accelerate their development and contributions to their families and communities. Keywords: Education, Economic, Empowerment, Liberation
