Feminocracy in Literary Imaginations and Cultural
Spaces
This collection of essays addresses the issue of feminocracy as the advocacy and theory of free
feminist choices and belongings among women. The reflections focus on African and non-African
women’s experiences in literature and society. Women’s experiences are examined and discussed
in literary works and songs in the light of Feminism, Womanism, postcolonialism, Marxism,
Semiotics, Cultural theories and psycho-analytic criticism. Contributors highlight the necessity to
redefine feminism which should not be a universal imposition of Western or American experience,
but as a perception of local differences of women’s lives. In the main, studies find out African
experience as unique and peculiar to Africans, while Europeans’ are proper to themselves.
“Common space, different grounds”, it is often said, to translate the idea that feminism, which is a
global phenomenon, must however be understood by taking into account the cultural, socio-
political and economic differences between Europe, America and Africa.
