Routledge Handbook of Contemporary African Women
About this book
The Routledge Handbook of Contemporary African Women highlights the achievements and progress being made by African women across a wide range of sectors in society. Without glossing over the very real challenges which women in Africa continue to face, this landmark handbook demonstrates how women across the continent are deploying their agency to achieve notable progress in areas as diverse as:
- Pandemics
- Climate Change
- Science & Technology
- Entrepreneurship
- Higher Education
- Youth & Older People
Challenging prevailing narratives and stereotypes about African women, this handbook provides a more positive perspective into African women's progressive actions for sustainable development. It will be an essential read for readers across the fields of gender, environment, political science, history, development studies, religious studies and African Studies.
