Abstract/Summary
The essence of the female has always been undermined by the imperial and patriarchal societies. Western and First World Feminists have acquired the habit of referring to their experiences as universal feminist experiences. Using Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak's Three Women's text and a Critique of Imperialism as a model, this paper examines the images of women and their relationship with each other as presented in Kerima Polotan's The Hand of the Enemy. In studying the images of these women, this paper determines whether the novel and the author, Kerima Polotan, are Post-Colonial Feminist.
