| Summary |
"Negotiating Power and Privilege captures the voices of female African professionals and vividly portrays their continuous negotiations as workers and as wives, mothers, and single women. It serves as a reality check to policies in developing nations that prescribe secondary and advanced education for women as a panacea for every social ill and explores the many factors that have shaped women's quest to join men as partners in nation building. It is also an original and important contribution to African studies, gender studies, development studies, education policy, and sociology. This book will appeal to scholars and to anyone interested in both the politics and the day-to-day reality of how women everywhere negotiate their aspirations and responsibilities at work and at home."--BOOK JACKET.
