Nike Davies is one of the few African women known internationally
in contemporary art circles. The Woman with the Artistic Brush
traces her life history and illustrates the strategies developed by
women to mitigate male rule. Presenting a critique of the woman's
place in contemporary Yoruba society from the perspective of a
woman who lived it, this book covers Nike's life from the time of
her mother's death when Nike was six to the culmination of her
dream in the creation, against severe societal odds, of a center
for arts and culture that has over 120 members. Along the way, The
Woman with the Artistic Brush details how Nike ran away from home
and joined a traveling theater group after her father tried to
arrange her marriage, subsequently married and joined in the
polygynous household of a noted artist from the popular Osogbo
school, and finally broke clear of that situation after suffering
sixteen years of domestic violence. The Woman with the Artistic
Brush is another superb contribution to the Foremother Legacies
series.
