This anthology contains short stories and extracts from novels by women all over Africa. The pioneer West Africans wrote to arouse 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." -- From publisher's description.

Her story reflects the experiences common to many Indian communities in Latin America today. Rigoberta suffered gross injustice and hardship in her early life: her brother, father and mother were murdered by the Guatemalan military. She learned Spanish and turned to catechist work as an expression of political revolt as well as religious commitment. The anthropologist Elisabeth Burgos-Debray, herself a Latin American woman, conducted a series of interviews with Rigoberta Menchu. The result is a book unique in contemporary literature which records the detail of everyday Indian life. Rigoberta’s gift for striking expression vividly conveys both the religious and superstitious beliefs of her community and her personal response to feminist and socialist ideas. Above all, these pages are illuminated by the enduring courage and passionate sense of justice of an extraordinary woman. Source: Publisher
