This book focuses on a Nigerian female playwright, Professor Doyin Aguoru, whose plays have succeeded in public spaces and have been put to classroom use in multiple universities. The book lays bare the complexion of contemporary Africa by using a body of literary creativity produced to present a balanced view of the analysis of modern Africa through a woman's voice. Central to the argument is the notion that women in Africa, like their contemporaries in other places of the world, have redefined the concept of womanhood by challenging several existential abuses of personhood that have confronted them for a long time and continued to undermine their very essence. The narratives examined in the book consolidate the argument that women have courageously taken risks to rewrite their history by striving to establish themselves in areas otherwise reserved for their male counterparts. The process of making a significant impact is laden with enormous challenges that can bring indescribable agony when individuals fail to pursue their agendas with keen and unwavering interest. The biographies of the scholars used in this book show that they underwent several procedures that demanded personal sacrifices. In their quest to destroy hegemonic narratives woven against them and which justified unending oppressive policies against women, they faced racial and political hostility in their various destinations. This book is part of the African World Series, edited by Toyin Falola, Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities, University of Texas at Austin.
