AFRICAN WOMEN : A Modern History
Nyskick. Westview Press, U.S., 1997, XVIII 308 pp., pbk., new copy; Over the last century, the social and economic roles played by African women have evolved dramatically. Long confined to home and field, overlooked by their menfolk and missionaries alike, African women worked, thought, dreamed, and struggled. They migrated to the cities, invented new jobs, and activated the so-called informal economy to become Africa's economic and social focal point. As a result, despite their lack of education and relatively low status, women are now Africa's best hope for the future.This sweeping and innovative book is the first to reconstruct the full history of women in sub-Saharan Africa; series: Social Change in Global Perspective.
