| dc.description.abstract | The article traces the emergence of ‘alternative’, positive vision of the future of African countries under the rule of female
leaders
in Kenyan women’s literature, using as examples three novels by Kenyan women writers—Rebecca Njau, Margaret Ogola and
Monica Genya. The study comes to a conclusion that the aim of these authors was not to create another ‘trivial utopia’, but to
draw a picture of a possible and accomplishable future which may serve as a motivation for the reading public. | en_US |
