You could consider Tsitsi Dangarembga's 'Nervous Conditions' as it focuses
on gender... and is African Fiction...

---------------------------------------------
There will be time, there will be time
To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;
There will be time to murder and create,
And time for all the works and days of hands
That lift and drop a question on your plate;
Time for you and time for me,
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
Before the taking of a toast and tea.
