This book is a critical analysis of Muthoni Garland's novella, HalfWay between Nairobi and Dundori. The book questions the subjective place that patriarchal order assigns and perpetuates to women. Through critical analysis, the author exposes patriarchy as relegating women to the periphery while men assume privileged positions, which they take advantage of to subdue women. Furthermore, the author provides agency for equality of rights and complementary gender relations between women and men. This book has four chapters. Chapter one examines women's subjectivity and feminist criticism theory. Chapter two focuses on women subjectivity and postcolonial theory. Chapter three is an overview of women and subjectivity. Chapter four is an exploration of subjectivity of the female characters in Halfway between Nairobi and Dundori. The conclusion sums up the critical analysis of the book: subjectivity affects the identity of women at collective and individual levels, and also upsets the traditional as well as modern women.
