Abstract

This essay is a reading of the poetry of Toyin Adewale and Unoma Azuah with a view to presenting contemporary feminist engagement in recent Nigerian poetry in English. The contention is that feminist engagement is increasingly moving towards an all-embracing commitment that considers the condition of women a larger part of the contemporary socio-political crisis in Nigeria. For these poets, the issue is not only about women seeking emancipation from patriarchal restrictions but the entire society striving for liberation from an establishment controlled by a powerful few.
