MARIAMA BA



Mariama Ba, the late Senegalese female writer and activist, stunned the world with her powerful epistolary novel, So long a letter. The book has since been translated into many international languages.
Ba was patently unhappy with the lot of Moslem women in her society and this was obvious in her writings. She also published another novel, Scarlet Song. She died in 1981.
