Abstract: The experiences of migrant women in African literature could be adequately addressed by postcolonial feminist theory. In this regard, this study looks at how patriarchal systems, migration, and state control affect the lives of women who experience violence, marginalization, and silences. This study examines the themes of female voice, subalternity, and resilience in Léonora Miano's Stardust and Aminata Sow Fall's Douceur de bercail through a postcolonial feminist perspective. The purpose of this study is to investigate how these writers depict the hardships and defiance of migrant women negotiating transitional environments such as borderlands and detention facilities. This essay also looks at how societal, political, and familial systems limit women's agency and voice by using the ideas of subalternity, necropolitics, and nomadism. Through a close reading of the texts, this study highlights the characters' negotiation of identity, solidarity, and empowerment, illustrating the complexities of female experience under intersecting systems of oppression. Focusing on characters like Louise and Aste, this study reveals the multifaceted ways migrant women assert voice, reclaim selfhood, and resist marginalization.
