This research critically examines the plight of the girl child under patriarchal domination as portrayed in Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye and Kaine Agary’s Yellow-Yellow. Using African feminist and womanist theoretical frameworks, the study explores how bothauthors reveal the interconnected forces of patriarchy, racial prejudice, and social deprivation that silence, exploit, and devalue women. Through textual analysis, the research exposes the emotional and physical traumas inflicted by patriarchal structures, maternal complicity, and community indifference. It also highlights how both writers employ female solidarity, education, and self-awareness as tools for liberation and social transformation. Ultimately, the study calls for a reconstruction of cultural values rooted in empathy, gender equity, and the affirmation of the girl child’s humanity
