Adanna, a name of Nigerian origin, pronounced
a-DAN-a, is defined as “her father’s daughter.” This literary journal is
titled Adanna because women over the centuries have been defined by men
in politics, through marriage, and, most importantly, by the men who fathered
them. Today women are still bound by complex roles in society, often needing to
wear more than one hat or sacrifice one role so another may flourish.

While this journal is dedicated to women, it is not
exclusive, and it welcomes our counterparts and their thoughts about women
today. Submissions to Adanna must reflect women’s issues or topics, celebrate
womanhood, and shout out in passion.
