This study is an attempt to examine how power is invested along gender lines through language choice[1] in patriarchal societies. It also seeks to evaluate the way the female characters of the novels at issues shift from established ideologies regarding the portrayal of woman in fictional writings by female authors. In that regard, it draws on the broad Critical Theory diversely termed Critical Language Study [2], Critical Discourse Studies[3], Critical Linguistics [4], Critical Discourse Analysis [5] van Dijk [6], and more particularly on the Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis [7], to analyze actual products of interaction, i.e. texts, in fictional works (Purple Hibiscus and Everything Good Will Come) by two Anglophone African female writers, namely Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Sefi Atta. The research work reveals that both feminist authors endeavor, through their crafted characters, to deconstruct the social orders which have up till now downgraded or discriminated woman. This isdefinitely a crucial step inbringingout social and cultural change in the power relationship between the womenfolk and their male counterpart.
