Ama Ata Aidoo
Brief Biography
Originally from Ghana, Ama Ata Aidoo’s (Born March 23, 1942) work focuses mostly on the struggles and lives of African women, and also about the problematics of return. By problematics of return I mean the 
way the returning Africans (from their travels or education in Europe or North America) view their own national cultures and the tensions that arise between them and their native counterparts. She is most famous for her novel Our Sister Killjoy or Reflections of a Black Eyed Squint (1966).
