This paper examines the strategies employed by female characters to re-evaluate gender disparity in Macgoye’s novel Coming to birth. Despite the different structures put in place to limit women’s access to opportunities, the female characters in Coming to birth device ways out of such limitations thereby attaining some agency. Gender inequality is a phenomenon that has been in existence from time immemorial. In most societies across the world, gender inequality is entrenched in its social, cultural, political, historical and economical spheres that inform the workings of particular institutions. I also hasten to add that the manifestation of gender disparity varies from one region to another and therefore by analysis and discussion is largely informed by the primary text and relevant secondary sources consulted.
