African Women Role Change and What Ought To Be
We must remember that under colonial misrule, black women suffered double-edged discrimination and dis-empowerment both as women and as black people. The greatest threat towards the African woman’s glorious future is her ignorance of her glorious past. Armed with knowledge, Africans must now fight to restore women to a position of respect and of economic freedom that exceeds that which she enjoyed before colonialism. The world’s first civilizations arose from the spiritual, economic and social efforts of African women and African women in turn went on to lead those Matriarchal societies.
