It describes how African women’s literature can act as a mirror, reflecting African cultures to Africans, and how it can serve as a window and a door, revealing African cultures to those outside of them in whole or in part. It ends with a description of “communal agency,” an example of how scholarly writing can act as a door for both those who are and are not a part of a literature’s culture.engAtribución 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/LiteraturaAfrican literatureAfrican womenliterary cultureThe Gambiapublishingtranslationinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess5701.07 Lengua y Literatura
