Résumé :	The purpose of this dissertation is to examinethe misrepresentation of women in Whole Soyinka’s The Lion and the Jewel. The discussion is based on the play The Lion and the Jewel and other African writers’ works. This work is divided into two major parts: Part oneanalyses major African writers’ presentation of female characters. Part two analyses whole Soyinka’s misrepresentation of female characters in The Lion and the Jewel. The myth that the place of women is exclusively at home and more specifically in the kitchen is widespread all over the world. An even more negative myth is found in Africa; the participation of women in public affairs might lead to social disaster. Chapter one discusses not only the characterization of women by major male writers but also examines the position and status of women in African society, Women’s oppression, education and women in politics. It also tackles the emergence of female writers defending the image of African women, and an overview about the female characters presented in Whole Soyinka’s works in general. The second chapter is divided into two parts:the first one examines the representation of female characters in The Lion and the Jewel without neglecting male characters, drawing attention to the contrast inthe representation of men and women in male writings. The second part is devoted to the Womanist movement with an overview on Alice Walker’s life and works and how she contributed in the creation of the Womanist theory. The chapter ends with the Womanist perspective towards the misrepresentation of women in the Lion and the Jewel
