"This
book brings together for the first time an extensive selection of Mabel Dove's
journalistic and creative writing—work originally published in West African
newspapers between 1931 and 1966. Mabel Dove (1905-1984) was one of the few
female writers—and one of the first feminist thinkers—to produce newspaper
articles on a regular basis in Ghana. Popular with male and female readers
alike, her immense journalistic output covered issues such as women's rights
and women's writing in the colonial period, education, culture and politics in
West Africa. Stretching from the 'stormy 1930s' to the dramatic coup which
unseated Nkrumah in 1966, the articles included here track a major period of
Ghanaian women's literature." Trent Editions
