Gender inequality has been a persistent problem in societies worldwide, particularly in those where men hold a dominant position in social, economic, and political spheres. Literature has been a powerful tool for highlighting such issues and creating awareness among the masses. Through a comparative analysis of the two plays, A Dolls House by Henrik Ibsen and Aminata by Francis Imbuga, the study examined the challenges faced by female characters in asserting themselves in patriarchal societies and the potential for female agency to bring about social change. It explored how the female characters subvert the patriarchal norms and challenge the societal expectations imposed on them. The study used second wave of feminist theory to examine the way in which female identity has been presented by authors from different countries through patriarchal critique; with differing cultural backgrounds, gender and style in their works. Data analysis was done through textual analysis. The findings revealed that both plays portrayed the struggles faced by female characters as they confronted oppressive gender norms within their respective societies. When they attempted to challenge these deeply ingrained norms, they encountered not only resistance but also shunning from their communities. The struggles are reflective of the broader systemic issues women faced during that era. It was concluded that women are becoming more resilient to fight for their social and cultural space, and no longer bow down to patriarchal demands. The study recommends that women who challenge oppressive societal structures, should be recognized and their resilience and triumphs celebrated.
