'Everything in Her Power has so much history and hope contained in four words. A fitting title for a singular novel that successfully exposes the root of crippling patriarchy whilst offering a multi-dimensional portrayal of what it means to experience womanhood. Dr. Uche Theresa Okafor achieves a masterful odyssey of intersectionality between Daughterhood, Motherhood, family, female agency, power and the economics of power. Everything in Her Power offers a critique of a system that constantly fails to protect women. Ola's story speaks to the plight of many women across cultures, and around d the world. Far too many women know what it means to walk in Ola's shoes. For far too many people, the subjugation of women remains acceptable - a fact which gives Okafor's novel its power.' Katy Simonian, Professor, Department of English, California State University Long Beach. 'Everything in Her Power is a haunting odyssey of abuse, betrayal, and oppression. The novel begins with the protagonist's father (the King) praying for a daughter. Despite having his seven sons, he earnestly yearns for the blessing of a daughter. Providence will hear this prayer. Chief Nwamba Ilo is finally blessed with a daughter. What does he do with her? The answer to this question explores the misguided nature of patriarchy, whose endless tentacles cannot be pacified by a father's love for his daughter. His daughter's abuse by her husband (which sends her to the hospital on many occasions), his verified infidelity, the torment of her two young children, relentless efforts to undermine her business, and even a murder attempt are dismissed. Everything In Her Power, a must-read, reinforces Dr. Uche Theresa Okafor's genius through its monumental impact and agency. This is her best work yet.'
