The aim of this study is to reveal the feminist strategies used by women to subvert male hegemony, especially their proclivity to reduce women to sexual objects. Through the lens of feminist criticism, we successively dealt with female’s subjugation to rape; their struggle to resist male whimsical desires and finally their actions for the reshaping of their image. The study has shown their victory in leading a fight for the change of their conditions in phallocentric societies of Africa.
