In Praise of Black Women

Author Simone Schwarz-Bart reconstructs the lives of African women from Senegal to South Africa in this powerful collection of pictorial biographies.



Rich illustrations depict the history of modern female visionary leaders including tremendous women such as political activists Alice Lenshina and Ellen Kuzwayo, the first African model Princess Kesso, Sierra Leone heroine Madam Yoko, Queen Yaa Asantewa of Ghana, and internationally renowned literary figures Buchi Emecheta of Nigeria, Mariama Ba of Senegal and Bessie Head of South Africa. Tracing from the nineteenth century to the present, historical and cultural contexts are explored using narratives and evocative photographs to help the reader better understand the world and work of these incredible women. Modern African Women is not only extremely informative and compelling, it is inspiring and uplifting.
