Her influence also stretched into the realm of women empowerment, with a number of feminists citing her lines of argumentation.<\/p>\n<p>A writer, poet, playwright, and academic, Prof Aidoo\u2019s characteristic concern with the \u201cbeen-to\u201d (African educated abroad) theme proved to be a recurring idea of sorts, figuring in her semi-autobiographical experimental first novel, Our Sister Killjoy, as well as her 1966 work, Reflections from a Black-Eyed Squint.<\/p>\n<p>Hilda J. Twongyeirwe, the executive director of the Uganda Women Writers\u2019 Association commonly known as Femrite, says Prof Aidoo \u201cwill forever be remembered for lighting the literary candle for African women writers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Twongyeirwe was particularly indebted to Prof Aidoo for her visit to Uganda \u201ceven when your health and literary agents could have disagreed at the time\u201d, adding that \u201cthe Femrite sisterhood was so lucky to drink from your cup of wisdom, especially when you officiated at our literary celebrations in January 2000.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As testament to Prof Aidoo\u2019s avant-garde approach to the advocacy of women\u2019s rights, Twongyeirwe reveals that the fallen Ghanaian \u201ctaught us to defend ourselves without raising a finger.\u201d This was at the turn of the second millennium, and Prof Aidoo had reacted to a stinging rebuke of one of her works with what Twongyeirwe called a \u201ctrademark giggle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Susan Nalugwa Kiguli, a poet and a professor of literature at Makerere University\u2019s Literature Department, told Monitor that Prof Aidoo \u201cwas and will remain that firm and uncompromising voice on colonialism, decolonisation, education, female empowerment in life and in literary circles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prof Kiguli said of Prof Aidoo: \u201cShe was larger than life and there are two voluminous books published by Africa World Press and Ayebia Publishing respectively, which should begin to show you how important she was in the African literary circles worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Addressing herself to Prof Aidoo\u2019s works, Prof Kiguli describes Our Sister Killjoy as \u201ca trailblazer [that] ignit[ed] so much debate.\u201d She adds that the novel Changes is \u201cunputdownable\u201d while the lines of poetry in An Angry Letter in January are \u201cmagical.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe dreamed big for the girl-child and for African literature. It is hard to say anything that would rightly describe Ama Ata Aidoo,\u201d Prof Kiguli told Sunday Monitor in an interview.<\/p>\n<p>Prof Aidoo \u201cwas and will remain that firm and uncompromising voice on colonialism, decolonisation, education, female empowerment in life and in literary circles,\u201d Susan Nalugwa Kiguli, literature professor<\/p>\n<p>Prof Aidoo began to write seriously while studying literature at the University of Ghana (B.A., 1964). She lectured at the University of Ghana for years after graduation. She won many literary awards for her novels, plays, short stories, children\u2019s books, and poems. Her works have been read in schools across West Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Prof Aidoo herself won a fellowship to Stanford University in California, returned to teach at Cape Coast, Ghana (1970\u201382), and subsequently accepted various visiting professorships in the United States and Kenya.<\/p>\n<p>In No Sweetness Here (1970), a collection of short stories, Prof Aidoo exercised the oral element of storytelling, writing tales that are meant to be read aloud.<\/p>\n<p>These stories and Anowa (1970), another problem play, are concerned with Western influences on the role of women and on the individual in a communal society.<\/p>\n<p>Prof Aidoo rejected the argument that Western education emancipates African women.<\/p>\n<p>She further exposed exploitation of women who, as unacknowledged heads of households when war or unemployment leaves them husbandless, must support their children alone.<\/p>\n<p>In 1982\u201383, Prof Aidoo served as Ghana\u2019s minister of education under Jerry Rawlings\u2019s government. She resigned in disappointment when she saw that she would not be able to make education freely accessible to everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Prof Aidoo published little between 1970 and 1985, until when she released Someone Talking to Sometime (1985), a collection of poetry that won the 1987 Nelson Mandela Prize for Poetry.<\/p>\n<p>She won the 1992 Commonwealth Writers Prize for Best Book (Africa) for Changes: A Love Story (1991), a story about an educated woman navigating the complexities of a polygamous marriage.<\/p>\n<p>Her later titles include: The Eagle and the Chickens (1986); a collection of children\u2019s stories), Birds and Other Poems (1987); Changes: A Love Story (1991); An Angry Letter in January and Other Poems (1992); The Girl Who Can and Other Stories (1997); and Diplomatic Pounds and Other Stories (2012).<\/p>\n<p>Prof Aidoo founded the Mbaasem Foundation in 2000 to support and promote the work of African woman writers. She was a patron of the Etisalat Prize for Literature (alongside Dele Olojede, Ellah Wakatama Allfrey, Margaret Busby, Sarah Ladipo Manyika and Zakes Mda), created in 2013 as a platform for African writers of debut books of fiction.<\/p>\n<p>Prof Aidoo will forever be remembered for lighting the literary candle for African women writers&#8230; she taught us to defend ourselves without raising a finger,\u201d Hilda J.
