Recenzje

"Dolapo Adeniji-Neill's work is a much-needed addition to theories on women and development. The narratives of the women in this book shed light on critical development issues about transitioning from traditional lifestyles and women's emancipation from male domination within an African context. This is a must read for gender and development studies."-Titi Kunkel, Dean of Instruction, Coast Mountain College, Canada
