Nigerian women in cultural, political and public spaces
Nigerian women in cultural, political and public spaces[electronic resource] /edited by Mobolanle Sotunsa, Anthonia Makwemoisa Yakubu. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2023. - xxv, 279 p. :illustrations, digital ;24 cm. - Gender and cultural studies in Africa and the diaspora,2946-3807. - Gender and cultural studies in Africa and the diaspora..

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. Mobolanle Sotunsa has authored and (co)edited several volumes including Feminism and Gender Discourse: The African Experience, Women in Africa: Contexts, Rights, Hegemonies, Gender Culture and Development in Africa, Expressions of Indigenous and Local Knowledge in Africa, and Imagining Vernacular Histories: Essays in Honour of Toyin Falola. Anthonia Makkwemoisa Yakubu is Associate Professor of Gender and Oral Literature at National Open University of Nigeria, Lagos. Her research interests are in the areas of gender, autobiography, film, and oral folklore, and she has published a number of papers in these subject areas, including editing a 4-volume biographical compendium on African women.
