Abstract:
»Observes parallels between WBT and the narrative of the matriarch Sogolon in the African (Mandingo) epic "Sundiata." Each includes a quest, a knowledgeable old hag, shape-shifting, and a version of rape. Such parallels enable us to "engage in a dialogue with an African text that narrates another woman's heroic confrontation with a system that would use her and other women."«
