Review Quotes:
"Arguing against polygamy and child betrothals and insisting on equal rights for women, Guanya Pau merits recognition as the first feminist novel written by an African. In an excellent introduction, Griffiths and Singler provide an impressive amount of information on this pioneering text and its author." -- Bernth Lindfors, University of Texas at Austin
