Více o knize

The book explores the unique political landscape of Nsukka Division in Igboland, challenging the notion that Igbos lack kings by highlighting the presence of female kings and warrior women. It emphasizes the significant roles women play in the region's complex social interactions and political structures. The author argues that understanding the influence of women is crucial for analyzing African societies, particularly in the context of European colonialism. This study contributes valuable insights to both African History and Women's Studies by examining gender dynamics and power.
