Martina Nwakoby

Martina Awele Nwakoby (born 1937) is a Nigerian writer. She was also described as one of Nigeria females to move "into a journey of relevance; a journey of redemption, strongly suspecting woman is under siege of perpetual domination." This made her a devoted feminist and one of the second-generation writers and critics in Nigeria from the 1970s.

She has lectured at Abia State University. Her most widely held works were A House Divided, which had three editions that were published between 1985 and 2002 in English and is held by 37 libraries worldwide, and A Lucky Chance, which had four editions published between 1980 and 1983 in English and is held by 18 libraries worldwide.
