Özet:
This thesis analyses the inferiority of femaleness to maleness regardless of the skin
colour in the works, The Grass is Singing, by Doris Lessing, and Nervous
Conditions, by Tsitsi Dangarembga. While the patriarchal system allows men to
oppress women both physically and spiritually, the colonial structure, constituting
the basis for the Third World feminism, lets them make use of women according to
their own profits. Additionally, the rights of women are abused in a specific way to
support the colonial structure and to preserve the process of oppression. Functioning
as a vicious circle, the process of colonization and the synthesis of the patriarchal
system of the colonizer and the colonized serve for the undermining process of
women in the fields of education, politics, law, and economics. Within the frames of
the colonial patriarchal system, no matter what the colour of skin is, a woman is a
woman and should lead her life according to the requirements and structures of the
imposed system.
Keywords: Third World feminism, postcolonial feminism, gender discrimination,
patriarchy.
