ABSTRACT
This study examines the relationship between culture, tradition, and gender in patriarchal African communities. There is no African society that doesn't have a tradition they practice that serves as laws that guide it's members. Hence, this study interrogates how culture and tradition has affected and shaped the life of gender as demonstrated in Odafe Atogun's Wake me when I'm Gone and Ayobami Adebayo's Stay with me. Snail-Sense Feminism which advocates for peaceful negotiation and corporative attitude towards patriarchy and Radical Feminism which advocates for radical revolution and defiance of traditional gender roles has been used to analyse and interpret this essay. The study discovers that traditions mostly affect the female gender and advocates for cultural change and reformation of traditional laws hat humiliates and tortures people in African communities.
