This article evaluates the subjectivity and agency of African women in Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun, Purple Hibiscus, Pede Hollist's So The Path Does Not Die and Elma Shaw's Redemption Road. The discourse in the article is located within the framework of critical studies on third world women and in the locus of African Womanism. Within this framework, the discursive is constructed in the ambits of persistent distortion of the realisms of African women in literary works which impetuses the imperative need for a shift in literary paradigm in a way that projects the existentialisms of African women to reflect their trials and triumphs and navigation strategies. Consequently, the article examines how some third generation West African novels depict the agentic individuation of African women in their novels. The paper concludes that there is an emerging breed of African women who are capable of agency and subjectivity.
