NWADIKE’S ADAEZE: FROM MOTHERISM AND SNAIL-SENSE POINT OF VIEW

Abstract

It has been established over the years that women have long conquered in their quest for self-identification. In the male dominated field; they have also registered their presence. Yet, it is important to look at women’s state of mind during the struggle. Therefore, this paper is inspired by the need to understand how women survive while being suppressed and oppressed. It also aims to guide women in balancing their homes. For this, the descriptive method of analysis was adopted while motherism and snail-sense feminism were adopted as theoretical framework. Findings revealed that while the men folk adopted the-me-first-before-others approach to rule their women the women adopted the motherism and snail-sense techniques and conquered. This study recommends that women adopt these techniques and enjoy a blissful marriage.
