![]() ![]() A critical reading and analysis of Our Sister Killjoy by Ama Ata Aidoo was done for the primary source of information and while textbooks, encyclopedias, book reviews, journal articles and credible websites with relevant information were consulted for secondary data. The work hypothesized that gender deconstruction is exemplified in Ama Ata Aidoo’s Our Sister Killjoy through female characters who rise up to challenge the marginalisation of women and so liberate themselves from gender-based discrimination and marginalization. The researcher therefore had as main objective to discuss instances of gender marginalization, the role patriarchy plays in this marginalization, gender stereotypes, as well as the steps taken by these silenced women to deconstruct or rise above these gender barriers set by male dominated societies. This research work, entitled “Gender Deconstruction in Our Sister Killjoy by Ama Ata Aidoo”, set out to investigate why women are victimized, marginalized and silenced by their male counterparts, cultural and patriarchal norms of the society and what the “New Woman” does to liberate herself. ![]()
