Mercy Amba-Oduoye

Heart and Soul

Available for over a year

In the tradition of Martin Luther, Mercy Amba-Oduoye is a disrupter, challenging the status quo using her deep faith to question issues which affect women such as polygamy, rape, FGM and access to education. She has been at the forefront of the fight for womens rights in her own country, Ghana and right across the continent, which has led to her being named The Mother of African Feminist Theology, or to others just as Auntie Mercy.
