      abstract = {This work is a transnational anthology that focuses on  women's strategies of resistance to the challenges they  face in Africa today. The anthology brings together  personal narratives, testimony, interviews, short stories,  poetry, performance scripts, folktales, and lyrics.  Thematically organized, it presents women's writing on such  issues as intertribal and interethnic conflicts, the  degradation of the environment, polygamy, domestic abuse,  the controversial traditional practice of female genital  cutting, Sharia law, intergenerational tensions, and  emigration and exile.  Contributors include internationally  recognized authors and activists such as Wangari Maathai  and Nawal El Saadawi, as well as a host of new voices from  all over the African continent and from the African  diaspora. Interdisciplinary in scope, this collection  provides an introduction to contemporary African women's  literature and highlights social issues that are particular  to Africa but are also of worldwide concern.},
