Rappelons ici que le premier volume traitait de la région Sud de l'Afrique, le volume 2 de l'Afrique de l'Ouest et du Sahel et le volume 3 de l'Afrique de l'Est.
Le quatrième volume intitulé Women writing Africa: the Northern Region a été édité par Fatima Sadiqi, Amira Nowaira, Azza El Khouly and Moha Ennaji. Voici une brève description qu'ils en font:
"In this volume, the editors have recovered the lost voices of North African women and, as a consequence, have restored their rich cultural and historical legacies. The volume covers six countries – Morocco , Algeria , Tunisia , Egypt , Mauritania , and Sudan , and contains over one hundred texts from nine languages. It includes works from 3000 BCE to the present; from an Egyptian Queen's marriage proposal to contemporary women promoting new marriage and family laws. In addition to Berber poetry and oral history, much prose in the volume is original, and many names will resonate with modern readers, including Fatima Mernissi, Nawal El Saadawi, Assia Djebar, Salwa Bakr, Leila Abouzeid, and Amina Arfaoui. Important themes include polygamy, FGM, the veil, education, language power, and political participation."
