In Women's Literature in Kenya and Uganda: The Trouble with Modernity in 2011, Kruger wrote that: "By the early 1990s only four Ugandan women writers (Rose Mboya [perhaps a misspelling of Rose Mbowa], Elvania Zirimu, Jane Bakaluba and Barbara Kimenye) had gained national prominence ...".[6] She was one of fourteen women included in Oladele Taiwo's 1985 Female Novelists of Modern Africa, in a group of six who were "known mainly for a single novel each".[7]
