Girl Who Can and Other Stories

Some, but not all, of the stories in this collection have been previously published in periodicals. The stories illuminate the struggles that women face in post-independent Ghanaian society. They tell of the way women triumph over the prejudices of family and Ghanaian society, and cope with the pressure of foreign conventions, often in a humourous way. The protaganists range from children to successful professional women, thus portraying the hurdles to be overcome from an early age and in adulthood.Aidoo, Ama Ata is the author of 'Girl Who Can and Other Stories' with ISBN 9789988550110 and ISBN 9988550111.
