( Temidayo Onojobi )
UCI I410-ECN-0102-2013-230-002157112

Womanist ideological orientations have been highlighted in many African narratives in French expression written by both male and female authors. Equally, in Marcan narratives, womanist postures are entrenched in the relationship between Jesus and women as opposed to representations of women`s marginalization and oppression found in the Jewish culture. Literature is a vital tool for articulation and interpretation of events, realities and aspirations of women in particular in the society. Marcan`s account of the Anointing Woman at Bethany and Haemorrhaging Woman are interrogated to bring out womanist orientations while novels of Adela?de Fassinou (a new generation of Francophone African writer) and Henri Lopes (old generation of Francophone writer) are analysed to highlight the womanist tendencies adopted by female characters for the purpose of comparing it with Marcan womanist inclinations in order to foreground that women`s experiences in patriarchal setting are similar. This was done to emphasise the fact that women should not feel intimidated with the dominance of men in the mission field, rather they should make all efforts to make their calling and election sure.
