Asenath Odaga projects how women have risen up against the societal boundaries that have always elevated the man at the expense of the woman. In Between the Years (1987) and Endless Road (1995) we seek to examine how women have resisted cultural stereotypes as well as masculinity that is as a result of patriarchal leaning of the society. Women resist all the negative representations in the two texts that manifest themselves through objectification and otherization.enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United Stateshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/us/Masculine, Stereotype, ResistanceArticle
