Jalli

On this episode, we are joined by Dr. Umma Aliyu Musa, a lecturer in Hausa at the university of Hamburg to talk all about Hausa women's writings.

What's the history of Hausa women's writings? How was their writing received by the populace? Should Hausa women stop writing romance and turn to other genres? Can we call these authors and their work feminist?

Find out the answer to these questions and more by listening to this episode!
