Feminism is a universal concept, but it can have different meanings depending on geographical, cultural, religious, and historical factors. This paper discusses a specific feminist approach, namely African sub-Saharan feminism, by comparing it with Western feminist theory, specifically that of Simone de Beauvoir. With the aim of understanding which feminist ideas are reflected in the novel, the study compares and analyses specific situations in socio-cultural contexts, in which each of the four female protagonists finds themselves. The main questions addressed in the study are: how do the traditional roles of women described in Celles qui attendent (2010) affect the women themselves and the community in which they find themselves? How are feminist ideas expressed in the novel? The study reveals that in the struggle to maintain the most existential life (in a generally poor environment), the protagonists fight daily to improve the situation for their families. In this struggle, the women show a strength that in many cases exceeds that of the men in the novel. Therefore, for the four protagonists in Celles qui attendent (2010), the feminist struggle is not about liberation from male domination, but rather about subsisting theirs lives with dignity.

Looking at how the books female main character relate to Stuart Halls theory of cultural identity, I come to the conclusion that they somewhat differently relate to an essential ”authentic” self. Salie talks explicit about a generic African soul that she possesses. Olanna never talks about anything ”authentic”, but her narrative and contrary subject positions can be read as a way of demasking her European ”white” self in favour of a truer Igbo self. I also come to the conclusion that both novels use themes of alienation related to gender structures and positioned westernness and that this kind of reading could contribute to interesting classroom discussions about a dynamic interpretation on culture and identity.
