Description
Introduction If African women of the twentieth century should stop and think when the "rain started beating us" quoting Chinua Achebe's popularized proverb, it will be when the men galloped away, enveloped as they were in the colonialists' new culture of religion, education and money driven economy. The women were left behind to mind the homes, the children and the farms. Their erstwhile dependence on the men deepened as their consumerist status heightened. The men had all the money and the power. We blame colonialism as a whip horse but it is colonialism that eventually offered the beacon of light of women's western education and exposure which propelled us to the outer wider world and recognition of the commonality of women's subjugation world-wide.
