Ndèye Fatou Kane
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ndèye Fatou Kane (born 23 November 1986 in Dakar) is a Senegalese novelist and feminist.
She is the granddaughter of Senegalese writer Cheikh Hamidou Kane. She studied transport and international logistics.[1]
In 2014, she released her first novel, Le Malheur de vivre,[1] prefaced by her grandfather. It is a narrative of a Senegalese's life between France and Senegal, between urban lifestyle and Pulaar culture, and a tragic love story.[2]
In 2016, she participated in a short story collection titled Franklin l'insoumis and dedicated to musician Franklin Boukaka. It is made of fourteen short stories written by fourteen different authors.[3] In 2018, Kane released her essay Vous avez dit féministe ? ("You said 'feminist'?") in which she analysed the feminist movements across Africa.[4][5][6][7] She also writes on social networks about African women, inspired by her fellow citizens Awa Thiam and Mariama Bâ. In 2018, she was awarded the Under-35 Youth Prize of the Francophone countries.[8]
