Capturing a dimension of the dominance and power of a Nigerian
woman, Matriarchy and Power in Africa shows the diverse ways in
which women controlled a variety of people in their society,
asserted their power, and maintained their authority in spite of
the hurdles erected by a patriarchal system that minimizes women's
role. In exercising her matriarchal authority, Aneji Eko defined
the manner of domestic relationships, influenced the statuses of
individuals within and beyond her household, established the
character of the relationship between men and women, adults and
children, and facilitated the balance between the temporal and
secular domains of members of her household. This book fuses the
underlying importance of women in Nigeria with issues of social
class relations, gender construction, child-raising ideology, and
their implications for prestige both in the traditional past and in
the contemporary present. Many readers will recognize the woman,
Aneji Eko, on whose social philosophy this account is based, as her
story mirrors what they may remember or have heard concerning a
parent or a relative, and even non-Africans will be familiar with
the pattern of relationships the story of Aneji recounts.
