The second generation Nigerian Ibo women writer Buchi Emecheta is a prominent women writer who has created a path for the contemporary Nigerian women writers. Emecheta is greatly inspired by her own Nigerian culture and her experiences in her life in London. She pens down a Nigerian woman's struggle for her independence and personhood. In all her works we could see the subjugation of women in the name of culture, custom and tradition. Emecheta shows how the Igbo women are naively made to accept the orders of their community that eventually lead to their death. All her women characters Akunna, Chike, and Ma Blackie in The Bride Price (1976), Ojebeta in The Slave Girl (1977), Nnu Ego in TheJoys of Motherhood (1979) are all the victims of the discriminative customs and rituals.
