Abstract:
This book examines the entrenchment of patriarchy in Africa and its attendant socioeconomic and political consequences on gender relations. Using both historical and modern examples, contributors analyze the ways women have been systematically marginalized in African societies and call for improved policy implementation on gender issues in Africa.
