Flora Nwapa
Florence Nwanzuruahu Nkiru Nwapa (13 January 1931 – 16 October 1993) was a Nigerian author best known as Flora Nwapa, who has been called the mother of modern African literature. The forerunner to a generation of African women writers, she is acknowledged as the first African woman novelist to be published in the English language in Britain and achieve international recognition,〔Margaret Busby, "Flora Nwapa", ''Daughters of Africa: An International Anthology of Words and Writings by Women of African Descent'' (1992), Vintage: 1993, p. 399.〕 with her first novel ''Efuru'' being published in 1966 by Heinemann Educational Books. While never considering herself a feminist, she is best known for recreating life and traditions from an Igbo woman's viewpoint.〔Susan Leisure, ("Nwapa, Flora" ), Postcolonial Studies @ Emory, Emory University, Fall 1996.〕 Later she went on to be one of the first African women publishers when she founded Tana Press in the 1970s.
Nwapa also is known for her governmental work in reconstruction after the Biafran War. In particular she worked with orphans and refugees who were displaced during the war. Further she worked as a publisher of African literature and promoted women in African society.〔(Literary Encyclopedia )〕
