FLORA NWAPA



Flora Nwapa was the Nigerian equivalent of South Africa's Miriam Tlali in that she was the first Nigerian female writer to publish a novel; novels actually.
Her first novel was Efuru, followed by other works like – Idu, Never Again (1975), One is Enough (1981) Women are Different (1986), This is Lagos and Other Stories (1971), Cassava Song and Rice Song (1986), Wives at War and Other Stories (1980), Mammywater (1979), Journey to Space (1980) and The Adventures of Deke (1980). Flora Nwapa died in 1993.
