 Ama Ata Aidoo is one of Ghana's leading writers
Ama Ata is a playright, poet and novelist, and has now set up Mbassem, an African women writers' centre in Accra.
She wants to give women the space and time to think and write: in the words of Virginia Wolfe, "a room of one's own".
Ama Ata talks to Jenni about Ghana's colonial past and her hopes for the future.
Poems were taken from:
