This anthology consists of nine plays by a diverse group of
women from throughout the African continent. The plays focus on a
wide range of issues, such as cultural differences, AIDS, female
circumcision, women's rights to higher education, racial and skin
color identity, prostitution as a form of survival for young girls,
and nonconformist women resisting old traditions. In addition to
the plays themselves, this collection includes commentaries by the
playwrights on their own plays, and editor Kathy A. Perkins
provides additional commentary and a bibliography of published and
unpublished plays by African women.
The playwrights featured are Ama Ata Aidoo, Violet R. Barungi,
Tsitsi Dangarembga, Nathalie Etoke, Dania Gurira, Andiah Kisia,
Sindiwe Magona, Malika Ndlovu (Lueen Conning), Juliana Okoh, and
Nikkole Salter.
