Mariama Ba Life

Mariama Bâ (April 17, 1929 – August 17, 1981) was a Senegalese writer and feminist who wrote in French.

She was born in Dakar and raised as a Muslim.

She began to explore the sex differences that resulted from African traditions at an early age.

She was raised by her traditional grandparents and her grandparents, who did not believe that girls should be taught.

Bâ later married Obèye Diop-Tall, a Senegalese member of Parliament, but later divorced him and was left to care for their nine children. In her first book, Une si longue lettre (1979), her dissatisfaction with African women, as well as her eventual acceptance of it, is expressed.

The sadness and resignation of a woman who must share the grief for her late husband with his second, younger wife are depicted in this semi-autobiographical epistolary work Bâ.

It was described as "the most deeply felt representation of the female condition in African fiction," literary scholar Abiola Irele said.

In 1980, this short book was given the first Noma Award for Publishing in Africa. Bâ died a year after suffering from a protracted illness before the unveiling of her second book, Un Chant écarlate (Scarlet Song), which is a love story about two star-crossed lovers from different cultural backgrounds fighting the tyranny of tradition.

The Mariama B. Boarding School is a boarding school on Gorée, a Senegal island. It was established by Leopold Sedar Senghor, Senegal's first president, in 1977. Mariama Bâ's school was named after her because of what she stood for, wrote about, and wrote about. It admits that young women who received the highest scores in the national secondary school entrance exam were not eligible. About 25 female students from Senegal's 11 regions are granted the opportunity to attend Mariama B' boarding school for the remainder of their high school years each year. In that it has seven levels, the curriculum is similar to secondary school in France, and students have their baccalaureat. Jana Films, a Spanish production firm, shot a documentary about the school directed by Ana Rodro Rosell in 2009.
