The objective of this article is to analyze the Igbo women’s condition in Buchi Emecheta and Flora Nwapa’s novels. It also examines the way these women live that condition in a patriarchal system. In fact, what matters scientifically lies on the way Flora Nwapa and Buchi Emecheta manage and succeed in re-creating women’s condition in the selected novels. How does the patriarchal system impinge upon the lives of female characters in the novels on study? To achieve our purpose, this study requires the examination of feminist and sociological approaches. Resultingly, Flora Nwapa and Buchi Emecheta present women in the Igbo culture as objects of cultural and social oppressions. They attempt to rebel against them, consciously or not, within their living space. But at the same time, they express the inability to totally reject the cultural and social backgrounds. They, therefore, stand at cross-roads, caught
between tradition and modernity as a clash.
