 * So far, only a small number of Togolese women writers have been published, but their contribution is both varied and interesting. Pyabelo Kouly Chaold's Memories of Twelve Years Spent in Germany, published in 1978, was followed in the mid eighties by Gad Ami's and Christiane Akoua Ekue's novels. A number of books published later built on this pionneering work : novels by Jeannette Ahonsou-Abots and Laklaba Talakaena, a collection of short stories by Emilie Anifrani Ehah and the recent autobiography of Henriette Akofa, who like so many young women from Africa and other parts, was conned by unscrupulous characters and fell victim to Europe's new form of slavery. Three authors published recently (2005-6) are also worthy of mention : Fatou Biramah, Kouméalo Anaté and Lauren Ekué who wrote an excellent novel titled Icone Urbaine.
