Historical Dictionary of Women in Sub-Saharan Africa (Historical Dictionaries of Women in the World)

"Historical Dictionary of Women in Sub-Saharan Africa includes nearly 1,000 entries on notable African women in history, politics, religion, and the arts; African women's organizations and publications; and a range of topics important to women in general and of special importance for African women, such as marriage, fertility, market women, and goddesses. Most entries include cross-references to related information in the dictionary - for example, the entry on music leads readers to entries on specific performers, different musical styles, and related topics (dance). The book includes an introductory essay and chronology on the history of African women, an extensive bibliography divided into sections on different historical eras and subjects, and an appendix that cross-indexes all entries by country." "A wide range of users will find this reference valuable, especially researchers in African or women's history, high school and university students, and those involved with African policy and development issues, such as diplomats and aid workers."--Jacket.
