- Annotation
- Draws on the psychological theory of gender role journeys to examine the extent to which Brett Ashley and Mary Ntube are able to break through socially constructed gender barriers and effect positive change on their environments. Mutia compares the Victorian era s delineation of traditional gender roles prior to The Sun Also Rises to the traditional African worldview exemplified in Alobwed Epie s 2010 novel, concluding that while Ntube successfully overcomes patriarchal authority to achieve transgendered selfhood, Ashley remains emotionally and financially dependent on men.
