This essay will link African women?s writing to culture, including literary culture and the politics of literature. It describes how African women?s literature can act as a mirror, reflecting African cultures to Africans, and how it can serve as a window and a door, revealing African cultures to those outside of them in whole or in part. It ends with a description of ?communal agency,? an example of how scholarly writing can act as a door for both those who are and are not a part of a literature?s culture.
