Prise de Conscience et Révolte Féminines dans Taaw de Sembène Ousmane

Abstract

The feminine mentality of pain is inevitable and suffering is optional is never perennial in the matter of the exigencies of patriarchy. When women become conscious of the excessive limits of pain, even the devil becomes envious of unequaled meanness on their part. In other words, where rigorous, ritualized dominance and subordination carries the day in the life of women, revolt without sufficient premeditation becomes the necessary sequel. This paper looks at manifestations of such a phenomenon, revealing glaringly of happenings in even today’s interactions between partners making it thus a must-read article.
