African Writers Series. 208 pages. paperback. Cover design by Diana Overton. keywords: Literature Africa Women Anthology. FROM THE PUBLISHER - An African woman writing fiction today has to be exceptional. She has to defy prevailing tradition to speak out as an individual. This anthology contains short stories and extracts from novels by women all over Africa. The pioneer West Africans wrote to raise national pride for their countries' coming independence. Southern African activists raise their voices against political and economic repression and racism. Northern African women seek to lift their veils to emerge from the enforced domesticity and female servitude. The experience, the goal, the language, the audience, differ from one writer to another. However, their works all affirm, as Doris Lessing wrote: 'that filter which is a woman's way of looking at life has the same validity as that filter which is a man's way.' inventory #34532.
