Feminism is a wide thrust area in the research platform and it aims at studying the status of the women in the society. This realm is accommodated to study the state of women in Alain Mabanckou‟s Black Moses. Mabanckou is an author of African diaspora and his contribution to postcolonial literature is immeasurable. He has taken African literature to the next phase academically. Though he resides in USA, his literary contributions spotlight the issues of Africa. This research focuses on the novel Black Moses to enlighten the condition of African women. Two feminist theories namely ambivalent sexism and misogyny are focused to enlighten the status of African women. Ambivalent sexism has two sub- divisions: hostile sexism and benevolent sexism. Hostile sexism replicates the pessimistic and stereotypical evaluation of gender and benevolent sexism refers to optimistic side of females subjectively but it deeply focuses on pessimistic face of gender. The social psychologists have defined that the place where hostile sexism and benevolent sexism meet, it is called ambivalent sexism. Misogyny is another feministic theory, adopted in this platform to study the injustice act against African women. The study reveals that the social norms of the society have been formed according to the convenience of men and the women are enforced to follow the perceived rules of society without minding their comfort. The finding is that men in Africa still dominate the women and it attempts to prove that the gender inequity is still existed in African society.
