Abstract
African Writers gave little importance to the role of women in their literary
works. The likes of Chinua Achebe and Ayi kwei Armah gave prominence to
women characters. This is seen in Ayi Kwei Armah’s text
Fragments. This
article therefore examines the important role given by the author of this novel
to the woman character, Naana. A critical content analysis has been engaged
in to ascertain her roles in the narrative and thematic developments of the
story. That is, it studies how Naana is used as a tool to bring about the success
of the novel. A study of this nature has to do with gender. Thus, the underly-
ing theories of this paper are Marxist feminist criticism and feminist literary
criticism.
