Gender and Development in Nigeria: One Hundred Years of Nationhood is an insightful, rare compilation of papers of sound scholarship on the cultural, political, and economic factors which have determined the status of women in Nigeria over a century of nationhood. It provides historical perspectives on national and international policies, as well as complexities of governance in Nigeria which have negatively impacted the performance of women in various critical sectors of the economy. The book is recommended reading for academics in cognate disciplines, development planners, policy analysts, gender scholars, and other persons who are interested in the gender dynamics of resource rich Nigeria. It is also an invaluable source of otherwise inaccessible literature and data for an international audience.
