This remarkable book contains what is probably the first full-scale autobiography of an African Hausa woman. Mrs Smith, spoke fluent Hausa and became Baba’s friend, while her husband Dr. M.G. Smith, a social anthropologist, was engaged in field work in Nigeria. After many conversations between the two women, Baba agreed to dictate the story of her life. Dr Smith contributes an essay on Hausa life and sociology to provide some background.
