Prof. Amadiume belongs to the rare breed of women on the planet that continues to show direction to a misguided humanity. I number her in the same eulogistic rhymes that would always feature Catherine Obianuju Acholonu, Flora Nwapa, Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo, to mention just these few. Happy birthday, to our own Ify Amadiume. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16935525141049152933noreply@blogger.com
