Daughters of Anowa provides an analysis of the lives of African
women today from an African woman's own perspective. It is a study
of the influence of culture and religion - particularly of
traditional African cultures and Christianity - on African women's
lives. Mercy Amba Oduyoye illustrates how myths, proverbs, and folk
tales (called "folktalk") operate in the socialization of young
women, working to preserve the norms of the community. Daughters of
Anowa reveals how global patriarchy manifests itself in these
social structures, in both patrilineal and matrilineal communities.
Organized as a narrative in three cycles, Daughters of Anowa
demonstrates how folktalk alienates women from power, discourages
individuality and encourages conformity. It also considers the
possibilities for the future. Oduyoye posits that change will come
about only when the daughters of Anowa (the mythic representative
of Africa itself) confront the realities of culture and religion in
perpetuating patriarchal oppression and work to realize the goal of
a new woman in a new Africa.
