The Women's War of 1929 Gender and Violence in Colonial Nigeria

“The women’s war of 1929: Gender and Violence in
Colonial Nigeria … provides one of the most detailed and multidimensional
accounts of the circumstances that led to those events and their impact on the
African-Colonial encounter. … The Women’s War of 1929 makes a significant
contribution to studies of African women, gender, colonialism, and colonial
violence. Matera, Bastian, and Kent retell a familiar story with new sources
and insights, and present perspectives that enrich our knowledge of this
remarkable event.” (Saheed Aderinto, African Studies Review, Vol. 58 (3), December,
2015)

"If the subject matter is familiar, the approach adopted here is nevertheless original. The book brings metropole and colony together by combining the expertise of two historians of Britain, Marc Matera and Susan Kingsley Kent with that of an anthropologist of Africa, Misty L. Bastian." - Journal of Twentieth Century British History
