She Called Me Woman: Nigeria's Queer Women Speak
Recommended By
A book about the lives of queer Nigerian women.
This stirring and intimate collection brings together 25 captivating narratives to paint a vivid portrait of what it means to be a queer Nigerian woman. Covering an array of experiences - the joy and excitement of first love, the agony of lost love and betrayal, the sometimes-fraught relationship between sexuality and spirituality, addiction and suicide, childhood games and laughter - She Called Me Woman sheds light on how Nigerian queer women, despite their differences, attempt to build a life together in a climate of fear. These beautifully told stories of resistance and resilience reveal the realities of a community that refuses to be invisible any longer.
