Opis

In previous ethnographic research, the image of society that has emerged has been influenced largely by the male population. This work is unique in that each chapter covers women in their everyday lives and the problems which concern them. The book was originally published in 1963.

Recenzje

'Women of Tropical Africa is a splendid contribution not only to the literature on Africa but also to the understanding of the role of women in non-industrialized societies.' - American Journal of Sociology

'An excellent, much-needed book. The analytical bibliography is of immense value to the serious student and is a fair measure of the book itself' - Natural History
