"Offers a big overview of roles and contemporary issues facing
African women over the whole continent. An important compendium of
the ways that women have had power and were critical to historical
transformations in Africa throughout history."--Jan Bender Shetler,

and social, economic, and cultural changes on the continent and
internationally."--Judith A. Byfield, Cornell University

and across space in their full complexity and with their full
agency. A must-read for anyone studying gender, women, or girls in
Africa."--Jennie E. Burnet, Georgia State University
