Efua Theodora SUTHERLAND. Born in Ghana in 1924, Efua Theodora Sutherland attended school in Ghana and England, graduating with a BA in Education from Homerton College, Cambridge University. Her return to Ghana in 1951 represents the beginning of what has been one of the most illustrious and least celebrated careers in African writing in English. Recently described in the authoritative Dictionary of Literary Biography as "the great dame of the Ghanaian drama and theatrical world", Efua Sutherland remains one of the least known African writers in English. Sutherland has written biography, poetry, fiction, and plays for both radio and the stage.
