Abstract :

The literary upper hand which influenced creation and black women’s thriving in the early 1980s aroused reaction from some women writers. Gloria Naylor’s works are illustrative of those responses. The matter in hand is to demonstrate how Gloria Naylor’s literary rebellion that led her to modern creation can be perceived as her feminist commitment. The paper is conducted in the light of feminist literary criticism. It reveals that Gloria Naylor, as a feminist novelist, uses her pen to fight the wrongs of patriarchy and writes her own way. Her five novels break with tradition, creating thus other narrative techniques, which give a prominent place to black women. So her literary rebellion leads her to upset the old phallocratic literary set up and create a new one in women’s favor.
