The Joys of Motherhood is Buchi Emecheta's most-celebrated novel — a foundational text of African feminist literature. Set in colonial Lagos in the 1930s-1950s, the novel follows Nnu Ego, a Igbo woman whose entire identity becomes wrapped up in being a mother to many children. Emecheta examines the brutal contradictions of traditional Igbo motherhood with bitter irony — the title itself is a barb. Required reading for understanding gender in 20th-century African literature.
