Ghanaian writer, one of the foremost writers in Africa. Aidoo is also a leader in communicating the politics that pervade women's experiences, especially in Africa, and is one of the few African authors to write about the sometimes alienated relationships between Africans living in Africa and those living elsewhere. Her diverse output includes plays, poetry, short stories, novels, essays, and children's stories, and is often marked by a sharp, opinionated tone.

Her short stories, collected in No Sweetness Here (1970) and The Girl Who Can (1997), and her novel, Our Sister Killjoy (1977), expand on these themes, many of which mirror Aidoo's own experiences.
