Despite having most of non fiction works that narrate  the experiences as one of the scarce women within the beat generation and her relationship with kerouac her fictions seems to be more of protofeminist reaction to the patriarchal belief and sexist construction of wòmen Her protagonists  not only acted as reconfiguration of the dominant beat discourse they also arbitrated in the reactionary beat culture of female inferiority and marginality . In other words her writings could be viewed as counter responses of women towards the dominance of male writers  within the beat movement. She successfully showcased the misperception and conflicts surrounding the white middle class female protagonist in a rigid patriarchal society

In a way it has been a cruise because people cannot see me as writer apart from my relationship to that material  it has been immensely frustrating  what has been frustrating to me is that the people who know my work seem to be remember it only in the context of my wrtting jack Minor Characters bụ ngwakọta nke ọtụtụ isiokwu dị iche iche dị ka Beats Generation na ụmụ nwanyị ndị na-atụ anya ịgbanahụ ajọ mbunobi ọha na eze.
