Genevieve Nnaji and the African Woman's Revolution

摘要

When one thinks of women workers in Africa, movie actresses do not come to mind as quickly as other categories of African women workers. In Nigeria's "Nollywood" film industry, actresses come to mind more quickly than their male counterparts. Women, young and old, are the foundation of this movie industry, the hardest workers in Nollywood, bringing the industry a cult following from all around the world. Their contributions are part of what many are referring to as the "African renaissance" or the regeneration of African cultural forms.
