dc.description.abstractThis study examined roles attributed to the contemporary Yorùbá women in the Nigerian socio-economic milieu. Series of critical works have existed on female characters in both Yorùbá prose and plays but few, as we are aware, has existed on Yorùbá written poetry. In an attempt to fill this gap, this study made use of six poems selected from Adéjùmò’s collection of twenty-eight poems, Rò óo Re (2002). The study employed the theory of African feminism as framework. Among the findings of the study were that the roles played by the Yorùbá women in the present Nigerian socio-economic system are enormous. They play both supportive and complementary roles to their husbands in making ends meet at home, and also help in nation building. The study also identified and condemned some ugly aspects in the attitudes and behaviours of some contemporary women which prevented them from fulfilling their socio-economic responsibilities in the society. It, therefore, concluded that women should be treated equally as their male counterparts.en_US
