Abstract:
The book deals with the theme of African market women and economic power. African market women's participation in trade is analysed, the struggle and competition between men and women over certain market items, the nature of resources available to them, the cultural, social and economic barriers, the method by which African women exploit or manipulate economic, social and political opportunities, the impact of European imperialism on the status and position of women and the effects of postcolonial structural adjustment programs, especially as they impinge on women's livelihood.
