With zest and humour, Ama Ata Aidoo brings attention to women’s struggle within society.
In this collection of short stories, Aidoo elevates the mundane in women's lives to an intellectual level in an attempt at challenging patriarchal structures and dominance in African society. Written from a child's perspective, Aidoo subverts the traditional beliefs and assumptions about the child's voice. Her inimitable sense of style and eloquence, explores love, marriage and relationships with all the issues they throw up for the contemporary African woman. In doing so, she manages to capture the very essence of womanhood. - Challenges patriarchal structures and dominance in African society - Portrays a child's perspective on traditional African beliefs
