Chinua Achebe [SEP] Masculinity and femininity
The gender roles of men and women, as well as societies' conceptions of the associated concepts, are frequent themes in Achebe's writing. He has been criticised as a sexist author, in response to what many call the uncritical depiction of traditionally patriarchal Igbo society, where the most masculine men take numerous wives, and women are beaten regularly. Paradoxically, Igbo society immensely values individual achievement but also sees the ownership over or acquisition of women as a signifier of success. As seen in "Things Fall Apart", Igbo society condemns violence but Okonkwo's ability to control 'his' women is inextricably connected to his dignity.
