Summary/Abstract: Faat Kiné, protagonist of the eponymous film by Senegalese director Ousmane Sembčne, is a strong, independent, and self-assured woman. She embodies freedom within a traditionalist society that grants women few rights. She symbolizes modernity: in a world dominated by patriarchy, she asserts her voice and achieves her goals. Sembčne foregrounds an exceptional woman who seizes power rather than waiting for it to be granted. The film appears as a living manifesto of feminism, providing the framework for our analysis.
