Abstract: Being an African woman who lived through colonialism, Buchi Emecheta's novels centre on the viewpoint of women in society. A rural Igbo woman named Nnu Ego is the subject of her book, "The Joys of Motherhood." Nnu Ego discovers herself in Lagos, Nigeria's urbanised capital. Patriarchy is frequently viewed through the feminist lens as a key factor in the oppression of women in both tribal and colonised countries. The novelist has also done a great job of capturing how the western sense of superiority negatively affects how people define themselves, particularly for those from third world nations. Based on these findings, the majority of critics debate both the irony of motherhood and the extent to which Nnu Ego is responsible for her oppression and eventual fall. However, some elements are disregarded by many critics in the cases of Nnu Ego and The Joys of Motherhood. Emecheta clearly introduces contradictions throughout the book, blurring the distinction between opportunity and victimisation, making it challenging to comprehend and evaluate Nnu Ego's character. The depictions of polygamy and economics in Lagos make clear these contradictions. It is clear that Nnu Ego occasionally plays a significant part in her own oppression. It portrayed the female world in Nigeria during the 20th century in the most accurate way possible through Nnu Ego. The study focuses on how motherhood has been viewed as nothing more than a custom or role of a woman community to reproduce, despite being highly cherished and privileged.
Keywords: Postcolonialism, feminism, joyless motherhood, marginalization, oppression.
