Inhalt:	A magnificent tribute to women in Africa and the African Diaspora from the ancient past to the present. Lavishly illustrated, with text written and selected by the cele-brated Guadeloupean novelist Simone Schwarz-Bart, this is the first volume of a four-volume series that celebrates remarkable women who distinguished them-selves in their time and shaped the course of culture and history. Volume 1: Ancient African Queens weaves together oral traditions, folk legends and stories, songs and poems, historical accounts, and travellers' tales from Egypt to Southern Africa, from prehistory to the Nineteenth Century. These extraordinary women's stories, narrated in the style of African oral traditions, are absorbing, infor-mative, and accessible. 600 illustrations, many of them rare archival images, depict the diversity among Black women. 456pp. 12 x 9 inches (Source: The African Book Centre, London)
