Goodreads asked Wole Akosile:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Wole Akosile This story is inspired by survivors and the unheard voices of sufferers of female circumcision. The gods of women have gone mad is a critical appraisal of this tradition which according to the World Health Organisation has affected over 200 million women world wide (1 in five women). This story is inspired by these women. It is also inspired by the courageous people from around the world who have called and continue to call for an end to these practices.
