Abstract

This article is based on a reading of the book “The Invention of Women: Making an African Sense of Western Gender Discourses” by Nigerian sociologist and epistemologist Oyèrónkẹ́ Oyěwùmí, seeking at first to briefly reconstruct the author's argument in this book and then to list some ideas of philosophical interest present in her work. We will also discuss some criticisms directed to this first book by Oyěwùmí, arguing, from these elements of philosophical interest, with elements that enable possible answers from the author to such criticisms.
