Nigerian Women in Cultural, Political and Public Spaces

This book will provide empirical engagements of Nigerian women in the private and public spaces and their adaptations, alterations and integration of the private and public spaces. This approach is contrary to most existing studies which may not necessarily provide contextual and empirical evidences of the debates about the spaces of women or interrogate both the private and public spaces in a single volume. This book will offer a novel insight into gender and power dynamics, especially as it relates to the cultural spaces, private spaces and public spaces which Nigerian women occupy and subjugate. The essays in this book critically examine the Nigerian women in different positions within the private and public spaces, the strong inhibiting presence of patriarchy, and the resistance women display to empower themselves.
