Yoruba Women, Work, And Social Change
The Yoruba, one of the most influential ethnic groups in Nigeria, are noted for the economic activity, confidence, and authority of their women. This title traces the history of women in Yorubaland from around 1820 to 1960 and Nigerian independence. It shows how and why women's roles and status changed during the 19th century and the colonial era.
