It explores the urgent needs of women in Africa, recognizing the interconnectedness between their current circumstances and the potential for future emancipation from institutions and processes that perpetuate poverty. By addressing gendered development processes and patriarchal economic policies, the book seeks to overcome barriers and promote equitable outcomes.

It seeks to challenge prevailing narratives and promote a more inclusive and sustainable approach to development that recognizes the diverse roles and contributions of women and men. The volume is of immense relevance to students and researchers interested in the political economy, development, and feminist economics, offering valuable insights and perspectives on the complex dynamics of gender and development in Africa.
