Abstract: This paper evaluates within the context of increasingly important position assigned to African literature in general; and the novel in particular, the dominant roles played by Ngugi Wa Thiongo through a focus on the significant contributions concerning the theme of women and transformation. Ngugi puts a high premium on women, showing them as champions of especially sexual and racial freedom for all women, in his novels, Petals of Blood and Devil on the Cross. This paper examines the ways in which Ngugi highlights different aspects of the discourse of female liberation, while also studying the dialogue of transformation. The study uses Feminism as the theoretical framework to evaluate the creative transformation of women against the backdrop of oppression, exploitation and male subjugation and also examines Ngugi‟s aesthetic approach to the discourse of women and transformation
