This paper takes up a critical overview on the treatment of postcolonial women in Kenyan novelist Ngugi wa Thiongo’s work. The paper evaluates the increasingly important position assigned to African literature in general (and the novel in particular), the dominant roles played by Ngugi through a focus on the significant contributions o f these two writers concerning the theme o f women and transformation. Although the author puts a high premium on womnanism, showing themselves as champions of especially sexual and racial freedom for all women, the novels indicate different trends in their portrayal o f this theme. Ngugi tends to become increasingly politically biased in expressing his Marxist social, political and economic doctrines. The paper furthermore examines the ways in which Ngugi highlight different aspects of the discourse o f female liberation, while also studying the dialogue of transformation and a sense of belonging. Finally, it remarks on Ngugi's aesthetic approaches to the discourse o f women and transformation.
