- Ezenwa-Ohaeto, RESEARCH IN AFRICAN LITERATURES
The collection of essays is most valuable for the range of African women writers included - new voices addressing contemporary issues, established writers working in new genres. But above all, the way the critics included here root their perspectives in African contexts and draw on those approaches to women's writing which offer insight into their national and psychological realities, gives readers a clear sense of where women's writing in Africa is at the present.
