Title

Gender Diversity and Women Power in Angami Society: A Study of Easterine Kire's A Terrible Matriarchy

Abstract

North-Eastern frontier zone is very apparent region for its rich tribal culture, custom and patriarchal society as well. North-Eastern frontier area consists of seven states, so called ‘Seven sisters’ by their own dialectic languages. Easterine Kire, born in Kohima is an Angami Naga writer. Her works are an insight into the Naga culture, history and also the customs and traditions of the Angami society. Kire’s A Terrible Matriarchy is a Buildungsroman meaning it is about the protagonist coming of age. The protagonist, Dielieno is the youngest daughter of Visa and Nino. From an early age ,she is put under the tutelage of her Grandmother Vibano who is a very conservative woman and whose sole purpose is to groom Dielieno to be a good Naga woman. Dielieno suffers from double oppression; first her Grandmother’s dictates and her Patriarchial subjugation and secondly the socio-economic diversity in the Naga society. But Dielieno, being an intellectual little girl among the Naga tribal girls, she does not lose her feminine power to her society anymore; rather she bravely struggles against abusive orthodox Grandmother’s discrimination “to get education and a place in her family andsociety”. The one thing remarkable about her character is her fearlessness. The proposed paper traces the growth of Dielieno from a young, innocent girl to a mature woman; her struggles at myriad junctions in her life and her victory at the end of the novel.
