Text in Xhosa. / Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study examines representations of women in four Xhosa drama books, thus aiming at
highlighting the interplay between culture and women's social space. A comparative
approach is used to review the ways in which the Xhosa dramatists under study
characterise women.Some of these representations suggest that women have the
capability to achieve personal transedence rather than accept the immanence imposed by
stereotyped gender relationships. In these works, it is evident that writers can change the
image of women by centralising them as active people who fight for their rights.

CHAPTERS
Summarises the findings of the study which is the representation of women in Xhosa
drama books. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek voorstellings van vroue in vier Xhosa dramas met die doelom
die interaksie te ontleed tussen kultuurverskynsels in die vrou se sosiale ruimte. 'n
Vergelykende benadering word gevolg om 'n analise te doen van hoe die dramaturge wie
se werke bestudeer word vroue karakteriseer. Sommige representasies van hierdie
karakterisering dui aan dat vroue die vermoë het tot persoonlike transendensie, eerder as
om die onmiddellikheid te aanvaar van gestereotipeerde genderverhoudings. In die
dramas wat ondersoek is, blyk dit dat die skrywers in staat is om die beeld van vroue te
verander deur hulle te sentraliseer as aktiewe mense wat veg vir hulle regte.
