Volume : II, Issue : XI, December - 2012 WOMEN AS THE MOST VICTIMIZED; A FEMINIST PERSPECTVE OF CHINUA ACHEBE'S THINGS FALL APART ABDUL KAYOOM.V DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The worst effected group of a social system is none other than women especially
the underprivileged women. Thee victimizations of the women in the patriarchal
community are regulated at different times and places by the distinct discursive
practices. Many rules and regulations prevalent in the societies are mainly in favor of the
privileged sections. In the colonial period also, the dignity of the women is endangered.
They are physically, sexually and psychologically abused. In a neo colonial world order,
women are reduced to mere products or the channels to felicitate the trade and commerce
of the products manufactured by the multinational companies. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : ABDUL KAYOOM.V, (2012).
