Lawrence, Leota S.
Phylon, v44 n1 p1-11 Mar 1983
Examines the image of women as depicted in the literature of Africa and the Caribbean. Suggests that in the literature of both cultures, women are shown to be self-assertive and in control of their lives, but they are ultimately assessed on their success as wives and mothers. (Author/MJL)
