Nwanganga Shields, Ph.D, a lifetime member of AAWA, has just published her first novel titled: EJITURU. The novel tells the story of an arranged marriage between the title character Ejituru and a man, Ignatius, who has already immigrated to the United States from Nigeria. It is set both in Nigeria and the US. The book is currently available from Amazon, Barnes&Noble and other independent book stores.

We hope to attract funding to develop this film into a full length documentary to share among nations and elevate the importance of the issue to the lives of women.
