Women in Sub-Saharan Africa: Restoring Women to History

Description

“These four volumes in this major series… provide a single-source reference to the status of the field of women’s history and to ways that the field can be expanded…. A basic set for all academic libraries.” Library Journal Academic Newswire

Berger and White focus on Sub-Saharan Africa, tracing women’s history from earliest times to the present. By exploring their place in social, economic, political, and religious life, the authors highlight the changing societal position of women through shifts over time in ideas about gender and the connections between women’s public and private spheres.”
