Book Synopsis The Water Goddess in Igbo Cosmology by : Sabine Jell-Bahlsen
Book excerpt: "This evocative study of a water Goddess among the Igbo of Lake Oguta in southeastern Nigeria, thoroughly explores the rituals, beliefs and social organization associated with rituals of women's power ... the analysis of this powerful Goddess, based on many years of research, is a notable contribution to African female ritual studies, long neglected by scholars."--Publisher's website.
