Awa Thiam


Born
Bamako, Mali

Born in Bamako, Mali, [in 1936,] she is a politician. Her first book La Parole aux négresses (1978), translated by Dorothy S. Blair as Black Sisters, Speak Out: Feminism and Oppression in Black Africa (1986), dealt with some of the practices — such as polygamy, clitoridectomy and infibulation — by which millions of women are controlled.

(from Daughters of Africa, edited by Margaret Busby)
