This comprehensive handbook stands as a groundbreaking reference, uniting knowledge, scholarship, and diverse perspectives on themes and issues impacting African women across the globe. It delves into the rich tapestry of African women's historical, social, political, economic, local, and global lives and experiences, with the ultimate goal of decolonizing the field. This Handbook critically examines the gendered roles and positions of African women, challenging the structures, institutions, and processes that perpetuate their marginalization and reconstruction. Contributors place a strong emphasis on debunking erroneous myths and misrepresentations, highlighting the previously marginalized stories of African women. Through their contributions, this Handbook expands the scope of the field, challenges established orthodoxies, and fosters the emergence of new subjects, theories, and approaches.

To the greatest extent possible, this reference work incorporates the voices of African women themselves, as they author their own narratives. The detailed, rigorous, and up-to-date analyses presented herein represent a diverse range of theoretical, methodological, and transdisciplinary approaches. This reference work holds immense significance in charting new directions for the study of African women, and its impact will resonate in future research, igniting new debates and nurturing further interest in this critical field.
