Life

Anoma was born the daughter of Joseph Anoma, and while she later became known as Gladys Anoma, she was given the name Bonful Gladys Rose Anoma at birth.[1] She was a student in Senegal for four years and in France for two years.[2] She earned her doctorate in tropical botany[3] from the Sorbonne, in Paris, France, and she also visited Tunisia, Germany, England, Ethiopia, Morocco and Ghana before she reached 37 years of age.[2]

According to her obituary, she was married to HE Ambassador J. Georges Anoma.[2] She also had a sister named Mrs. Aké.

A newspaper report about a five-week trip she made to Kingston, New York in August 1968, with 11 other African women leaders, states that her husband was, at that time, Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and that the couple had four children. The purpose of the trip was to explore "distaff matters in America and Africa."[2]

She died in Paris in 2006 and was buried in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.[4] A remembrance ceremony was held at Saint Jacques Church Two Plateaux for Anoma in 2016, 10 years after her death.[1]

gollark: … aren't those different things?
gollark: Examples of use:```You are like 3 (three) apioforms.What even is an apioform?Alright, apioforms.Ideatic chronoapioforms in meta-ubqvian space.That idea is isomorphic to 34 apioforms!games and other programs that are apioformic to run on linux or openbds.It graphs apioform concentration (including retroactively) over time.anyway "lyric make macron" would make a fine sequel to beware apioforms and "fixing ewo" yesapioforms are form-suffixed apios```
gollark: > Derived from the Latin "apis" (bee) and "forma" (figure), "apioform" can be used as an insult, compliment, random placeholder, or for any purpose whatsoever. Mostly used in the context of esoteric programming languages, somehow. The word can be expanded by inserting or prepending prefixes such as "cryo", "pyro", "chrono", "contra" or "meta", e.g. "cryoapiocontraform", to convey additional meaning. An older form was "apiohazard", for hazardous apioforms, but this has fallen out of use.
gollark: An apioform is most accurately described as an apioform with apioformic characteristics.
gollark: Anime but in the category of endofunctors WHEN?
