Patriarchy in Régina Yaou’s La révolte d’Affiba

Résumé

This article analyzes the effects of social inequalities on women, how they can
unleash these practices that hinder their emancipation. This study therefore proposes to
analyze how women revolt against patriarchy in The Price of Revolt: Affiba. To carry out this
investigation, Spivak’s perspective “can subordinates speak ?” and that of Beauvoir “one is
not born a woman but rather becomes” are necessary for this analysis. The study concludes that
customs promote masculinity, but given the opportunity, women can break free.
