Description

Tell It To Women gives traditional rural women a voice: the women from Idu break from their assumed position of silence and powerlessness to confront the urban women who believe their western education gives them the authority to speak for all women.

Reviews

"Onwueme is eminently a political dramatist, for power affects every other aspect of society. She explores these themes with a dazzling array of images and proverbs. Her drama and theater are a feast of music, dance, mime, proverbs, and story-telling. With Tell It to Women, Onwueme consolidates her position among the leading dramatists from Africa."
