Women and Global Peace in CLARK'S The Wives’ Revolt and Kofoworola's Queen Ghasengeh

Abstract

Breakdown in peace and tranquility in our society has been found to be exacerbated by men’s approach, which has been observed to be heavily laden with force. This paper presents a position that if women were given a slice of the opportunity that was available to men in the governing process, the world would be a better place to live in. In this direction, this paper appraises the roles played by women in J. P. Clark’s The Wives’ Revolt and Zikky Kofoworola’s Queen Gashengeh. It also explores their laudable and invaluable contributions to the advancement of peace in our society. The paper observes that inequality and restricted political opportunities granted women globally is the bane of the lost peace in our society. This paper concludes that readdressing and correcting the imbalance, as well as harness the untapped reservoir of wisdom deeply seated in our women is what our nations need for the attainment of global peace. This we found in the antecedents of some women who have served our nation in various capacities in the past. Consequent upon attainment of global peace.
