The Sex Lives of African Women by Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah
5.0
Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah weaves a beautiful web of what is considered the anathema of the female sex life.
The deeply personal stories of the different women offer insights into the politics of female sexuality and how women across Africa are finally coming into their own as sexual beings. The third section, Healing, is my favourite especially because it doesn’t necessarily tell the story of people who are over the trauma from their past abuse. It highlights the realness of the situations they were in and the self awareness or lack of within themselves.
