Efuru is a novel by Flora Nwapa which was published in 1966 as number 26 in Heinemann's African Writers Series, making it the first book written by a Nigerian woman, in fact, any African woman, to be published internationally.[1] The book is about Efuru, an Igbo woman who lives in a small village in colonial West Africa.

The book is rich in portrayals of the Igbo culture and of different scenarios, which have led to its current status as a feminist and cultural work.
