I highly recommend this book for women's enlightenment. An absolutely great and informative book by Asst. Professor Vanessa K. Valdés at the University of New York titled, "Oshun's Daughters" examines representations of African diasporic religions from novels and poems written by women in the United States, the Spanish Caribbean, and Brazil. In spite of differences in age, language, and nationality, these women writers all turn to variations of traditional Yoruba religion (Santería/Regla de Ocha and Candomblé) as a source of inspiration for creating portraits of womanhood.
Truly, this book will inspire and rejuvenate you!
