THE LANGUAGE OF FEMINISM AND ITS IMPACT TO THE SOCIETY: A CASE STUDY OF MARIAMA BA’S So Long a Letter
ABSTRACT
This paper duels on women’s lamentation over male subjugation. Women’s lamentation over male subjugation has in recent years filtered into a determination to abnegate sexism. With this stand, their former conciliatory position becomes superseded by a current of revolt against man and tradition as highlighted through semantic compounding and linguistic parallelism in So Long a Letter.
