See link and read 5th paragraph, starting with “The world in Things Fall Apart is one in which patriarchy. . .” and to the end of paragraph seven: Women in Achebe's world Ibo women were not without power, and Achebe describes the umuada, or daughters of the clan, who seem to exercise authority in certain arenas. According to Rhonda Coleman, a critic who has studied the anthropological literature on the Ibo, the umuada also regulated the markets in each town and settled civic and marital disputes. The wives of the clan would bring pressure to bear on a man guilty of wife abuse through public humiliation. Women would harass him in front of clan members with songs and gestures of a rude nature until he changed his behavior. In the meantime, according to Coleman, kinsmen of the battered woman who had married into the clan would pressure their own men to do something about the abuse.
