This 1973 book analyses the changing position of women in an urban
context in sub-Saharan Africa. In spite of the fact that women, at
the time of publication, were often important leaders of opinion
and in these countries the proportion of women in professional work
was at least as large as in Britain, few researchers and even fewer
television and newspaper reporters paid them sufficient attention.
As the new role of women in Africa was peculiarly a phenomenon of
the city, Professor Little's book uses the concept of urbanization
in order to analyse the radical changes taking place. He shows how
certain women's movements were growing out of the African woman's
desire for a new relationship with the man. This leads him to
consider the part played by women in the political arena, and
women's position not only in monogamous marriage, but also in
extra-marital and sexual relationships.
