In This Episode:

I will introduce you to the Mother of Modern African Literature, Flora Nwapa. She was on the most popular African Authors, who changed the face of writing. She was a woman ahead of her time, a feminist before it was “cool” to be one.

Flora Nwapa was a strong African woman with a voice, who expressed herself through her books.
