Overview
This Study of More Than Two Thousand Years of African Social History Weaves Together Evidence From Historical Linguistics, Archaeology, Comparative Ethnography, Oral Tradition, and Art History to Challenge the Assumptions That All African Societies Were Patriarchal and That the Status of Women in Precolonial Africa is Beyond the Scope of Historical Research. in East-Central Africa, Women Played Key Roles in Technological and Economic Developments During the Long Precolonial Period.
