"The gains made by African women publishers need to be safeguarded and consolidated, however it is still not straightforward for women to publish. We shall no doubt see more women publishers establishing and heading publishing houses. …There are issues, relevant across the board in Africa, including traditions, cultures and prejudices mitigating against women’s participation in decision making. This includes the publishing field. … Women writers and publishers, we are well aware that nothing is given, and we have to keep demanding and putting one foot in front of the other in the publishing world. I see women like me who began to publish to fill a gap and are now bringing in other people as changing ways‘things have always been done’, and giving new vocabulary to define a new world of ‘this is the way things are now being done."
