A vital new addition to women's studies is hitting bookshelves, shedding light on the sacred role of women in the Ifa tradition.

The book comes from the renowned Chief Ifayemi Elebuibon, a globally recognized Yoruba poet, author, and playwright. Chief Elebuibon's roots run incredibly deep in Yoruba history. He is a direct descendant of Olutimehin, one of the original co-founders of the Nigerian city of Oshogbo.

In this latest work, the master diviner and scholar explores the history of the Apetebii-the first principle wife of Òrúnmìlà. By examining the sacred texts of the Ifa Odus, Elebuibon provides an invaluable analysis of women's spiritual and cultural power within traditional institutions.

If you are looking to expand your understanding of global indigenous traditions and gender studies, this is one book you won't want to miss.
