Enemies of their Own: Rethinking Feminism in Zulu Sofola’s Wedlock of the Gods

The belief that women secretly hate other women is one with a long history in humanity especially in the African context. Avarice suspicion and competition abound in the relationship among the female race. The vibrancy which accosted African gender studies stimulates a closer appraisal of the varying opinions of the females as they inclined to the popular concept of feminism. This paper therefore seeks to interrogate the diversified opinions of the supposed unity in understanding the concept of feminism as it echoes from several female critics cum writers. Zulu Sofola's Wedlock of the Gods is used to explore this assertion. Such are clear evidences of divergences in the physical, spiritual, social and intellectual dispositions of women which call for reflections.
