 If the opportunity to “inherit” the work of Patricia Hill Collins (as Dotson [2015] puts it in the title to her piece on Collins) has inspired two influential figures in contemporary U.S. Black feminist philosophy, the issues at the heart of another author’s germinal text help drive another strain in Africana philosophical studies of gender and sexuality. Nigerian sociologist Oyeronke Oyewumi’s The Invention of Women (1997) helped make her, as Azille Coetzee and Annemie Halsema put it, “one of the most famous and at the same time contested scholars in African feminist thought” (Coetzee and Halsema 2018, 179). Douglas Ficek explains that her “central claim is that gender is not an indigenous organizing principle in Yorùbáland, that the ‘body-reasoning’ and ‘bio-logic’ of the West are present neither in the language nor in the epistemology of the Yorùbá” (Ficek 2006, 543). This view immediately inspired considerable pushback, including sustained scrutiny from multiple contributors to the special African feminisms issue of Quest: A Journal of African Philosophy that appeared in  2006.[6]  Oyewumi’s arguments still help frame contemporary efforts to rethink the role of gender in African life, as evidenced by her prominent role in the articles on gender and feminism in the recent Palgrave Companion (e.g., du Toit and Coetzee 2017).
