I don't think there is that much of a difference. If you notice, the work that encompasses those of female writers, be they francophone or anglophone is situated on the domination of the male patriarchy in the African context, and the subjugation of women in the industry. Few of them have traversed beyond the scope, except perhaps, for Aminata Sow Fall of Senegal, who wrote The Beggar's Strike. Hers is more political. However, there is a distinction in some of the writings like Mariama Ba, whose novel, "So Long a Letter", encompassed the overall picture of the trials of African women. Bride price, land acquisition, polygamy, abandonment, financial responsibilities/duties of the mother in the household were all introduced in the novel. I just can't find any other novel, written by any other African woman that can compete with her first novel.

PS: I think Francophone West African female writers are more talented than their Anglophone counterparts.

The question is this: how many African female writers' novels have you read? And how many of such novels have you critiqued, analysed and studied at an in-depth level?

It is also possible that 'So Long a Letter' was one of the first novels you read and because of that early exposure your standard of perfection hovered around any work that had a semblance with 'So Long a Letter.' In other words, making generalisations is a faulty way of reasoning.
