    13 janvier 1931 – 16 octobre 1993

    Florence Nwapa fut une voix pionnière dans la littérature africaine, renommée pour avoir recréé les traditions et la vie quotidienne d'un point de vue distinctement féminin. Son roman novateur, Efuru, se distingue comme l'un des premiers romans en langue anglaise d'une femme africaine à être publié à l'international, marquant un moment littéraire significatif. Au-delà de son écriture, Nwapa fut également la première femme africaine à publier des romans et a activement défendu le rôle des femmes dans la société. Elle est largement reconnue comme une figure fondamentale, souvent appelée la mère de la littérature africaine moderne.
