      abstract = {Woman fights to be on the same footing with man. She suffers various forms of inequality caused by the social construction and the prejudice against her. Woman is thought to only function as a source of reproduction of human life. She is seen as another self to man and her position is basically lower than man?s. Similar insight is highlighted in Yaa Gyasi?s Homegoing. Throughout the novel, female characters are marginalized, victimized, demoralized, oppressed and subjected to sexual violence. Patriarchal societies in both Ghana and the United States keep women in a state of subordination. In addition to being brutalized, they are denied job opportunities which might help them become independent. The aim of the present study is to shed light on the problem of gender discrimination against women on one side and on the other side to emphasize the importance of giving women independence and of saving them from ill treatment so that they may contribute to the progression of their country as well as their own development.},
