متن يادداشت
By considering the lives of ordinary African women - farmers, queen mothers, midwives, urban dwellers, migrants, and political leaders - in the context of particular colonial conditions at specific places and time, Women in African Colonial Histories challenges the notion of a homogeneous 'African women's experience.' Innovative use of primary sources, including life histories, oral narratives, court cases, newspapers, colonial archives, and physical evidence, attests that African women's experiences defy statistical representation.
