| 520 | 1 | |a "The "woman question", this book asserts, is a Western one, and not a proper lens for viewing African society.

Her analysis shows the paradoxical nature of two fundamental assumptions of feminist theory: that gender is socially constructed in old Yoruba society, and that social organization was determined by relative age."--Jacket. | |
