It's the 1st day of Isla's challenge, so here are my nominations (and there are probably more than 100, so anyone else feel free to dive in!). Take a look at any of the awards listed on pages such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:South_African_literary_awards - there are numerous female authors that don't have articles.
Here are the ones I could find that have country lists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:South_African_literary_awards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Botswana_literary_awards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Egyptian_literary_awards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Kenyan_literary_awards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Moroccan_literary_awards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Nigerian_literary_awards
There are also broader categories such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:African_literary_awards
Happy writing!

Dear Intrepid African Wikipedians
I NEED YOUR HELP!
I have pledged to start the #100wikidays [1] challenge. My challenge is aimed at ensuring the remarkable African women that the text books, news and history books have failed to celebrate are covered on Wikipedia.
Please tell me your nominations ... Which female and African (ancient, historical and modern) innovator, leader, academic, scientist, activist, artist inspire you? Who do you think should be celebrated … (please send me more than 1)
I get started on the 1st September. Looking forward to it!!
Oh, and feel free to be part of the challenge!!
warmest Isla
