Flora Nwapa Turns 85 Today! Florence Nwanzuruahu Nkiru Nwapa (13 January 1931 – 16 October 1993) was a Nigerian author best known as Flora Nwapa, who has been called the mother of modern African literature. The forerunner to a generation of African women writers, she is acknowledged as the first African woman novelist to be published in the English language in Britain and achieve international recognition,[1] with her first novel Efuru being published in 1966 by Heinemann Educational Books. While never considering herself a feminist, she is best known for recreating life and traditions from an Igbo woman's viewpoint.[2] Later she went on to be one of the first African women publishers when she founded Tana Press in the 1970s. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flora_Nwapa 2 Likes

Truly I am FTC!!!! Nothing is changed though, no bank alerts, still haven't had breakfast and I don't know what I'll eat but I commented first on this topic. Feels good. However, I dedicate this space to everyone out there struggling to make ends meet through short and little means. One day you'll make it the way you want. Just keep keeping on and I pray whatever you belive in will give the strength to carry on. One love!! 3 Likes 1 Share |
