Molara Ogundipe
Omolara Ogundipe-Leslie, also known as Molara Ogundipe (Lagos, 1940) is a Nigerian poet, critic, editor, feminist and activist. Considered one of the foremost writers on African feminism, gender studies and literary theory, she is a social critic who has come to be recognized as a viable authority on African women among black feminists and feminists in general.〔Douglas, Carol Anne, 'Women in Nigeria Today', ''off our backs'', Washington, 30 November 1987.〕 She contributed the piece "Not spinning on the axis of Maleness" to the 1984 anthology ''Sisterhood Is Global: The International Women's Movement Anthology'', edited by Robin Morgan.
==Life==
Born Abiodun Omolara Ogundipe to a family of educators and clergy, she graduated BA English Honours as the first Nigerian with a first class degree from the University of London. She later earned a doctorate in Narratology (theory of narrative ) from Leiden University, one of the oldest universities in Europe. She has taught English Studies, Writing, Comparative Literature and Gender from the perspectives of cultural studies and development at universities in several continents. She rose to prominence early in her career in the midst of a male dominated artistic field concerned about the problems afflicting African men and women. Over the years, she has been a critic of the oppression of women and has argued that African women are more oppressed in their status and roles as wives in view of their multiple identities, in some of which identities, they enjoy status, privilege, recognition and agency. She criticizes the plight of African women as due to the impact of imposed colonial and neo-colonial structures that often place African males at the height of social stratification. Their plight is also due to the internalization of patriarchy by African women themselves. She, however, insists on an understanding of the complexity of the statuses of African women in their pre-colonial and indigenous cultures for any useful discussion or study of African women. Molara Ogundipe has been in the leadership of feminist activism and gender studies in Africa for decades. She now lives and works in West Africa, where she has been setting up writing centres at universities, in addition to her work on literature, gender and film, in contribution to her commitment to intergenerational education and mentoring.
