Abstract	:	So long a letter of Mariama Bâ, which received, in 1980, the prestigious Noma Award for Publishing in Africa, describes the life of the Wolof African woman facing a society ruled by male domination. This phallocracy is illustrated, in everyday life, by male dialogue and various social and religious traditional practices, among them polygamy. Contrary to all expectations, it is older women who seem to be the custodians of the phallocratic temple. In order to survive in this misogynist social system, Ramatoulaye and Aïssatou have undertaken a similar quest, but in diverging ways. Whereas Aïssatou rejects completely tradition and polygamy, Ramatoulaye tries to reconcile tradition and modernism. The decisions taken by these two educated women show how complex the question of African women's emancipation is today. This thesis highlights the dichotomy “tradition/modernism” that puts the discourse of African Feminism at the crossroads. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
