Women in Nigeria : An Annotated Bibliography (African Special Bibliographic Series)

Previously a neglected area, women's studies is now a recognized field of study in Nigeria. With more than 500 annotated entries, this bibliography documents the literature on Nigerian women. It covers material from books, journals, theses, dissertations, government documents, and conference papers from 1975 to 1993, the most recent date for which published Nigerian sources are available. Entries appear in chapters devoted to agriculture and economy, national development, education and training, health, home and family, and labor force and workplace. A valuable source of data on women in Nigeria, the book will be useful for researchers and planners interested in women in this country and women in general.
