Women in Publishing and the Book Trade in Africa: An Annotated Directory

Oxford: African Books Collective, 2nd revised and expanded ed. (1997), 34 pp.
"Supersedes a provisional listing prepared by ABC in June 1995 now revised and expanded and containing 145 entries, each with a short annotation covering areas of publishing and/or providing a short company profile. The directory is arranged in five sections (i) Women publishers in Africa (i.e. owners or directors of publishing companies or their chief executives); (ii) women in senior management positions in African publishing; (iii) women in the retail book trade and in book distribution; (iv) women in other sectors of the African book world; and (v) some African women’s organizations with publishing programmes. Each entry provides contact details and full address, telephone and fax numbers, and email addresses for some (some of which will now be very dated). No further editions published." (Hans M.
