Daughter of Esan (fifth generation)

“Daughter of Esan” depicts five generations of women (Akpojotor’s great-grand mother, her grand-mother, her mother, herself and her child) with roots from Esan – an ethnic group that occupies central Edo State. Akpojotor chronicles her family’s journey to fulfilment of the radical vision of her great grandmother – Eboheide Anara Ikhisemoojie. Ikhisemoojie who was born in 1910 had wished to receive an education and was unable to. Her strong desire to be educated set the tone and paved the way for the other generations to reach various academic levels.
