Summary/Abstract: The publication is dedicated to the work of Senegalese female writers creating in French. It constitutes a significant voice to the research on African literature showing the works of women who for generations were deprived of the opportunity to publicly express their thoughts. The writers raise subjects which are both universal as well as deeply rooted in African culture and reality. The main part of the book has a form of a dictionary containing over 80 entries, which introduce the writers and discuss their work, thus allowing the reader to gain a broad view of the diversity and variety of the Senegalese women’s literature.
