Abstract
It has become quite natural to see that when critics talk about African literature, they are most likely talking about literature written by African men. It is not that they set out to exclude or relegate African women writers, it is that it is “so natural” according to a certain critic to neglect to mention African female writers. This paper is written with the intention of tracing the history of women writing in African literature, to point out some of the challenges faced by African women writers and to give some recommendations that we feel may improve the lot of African women writers. The advent of African women writers varies depending on their language zone – Anglophone, Francophone, Lusophone. We will, in this paper however focus on African women writers in the francophone region while not neglecting their Anglophone colleagues.
