Exposition of Culture and the Space of Women: An African View for Policy Consideration

Download PDF

This conceptual article, framed around Marxism, highlighted the fact that, over

time, African women have persistently questioned the ways in which

understandings of culture have both valued and devalued them. Relying on the

experience of women in some randomly selected African countries – South Africa,

Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Ghana, this research shows clearly that the space of women

as members of the household and at a macro level is shaped by an existing culture

to which they must confine their lives. Also, culture, as shown in this research, is

deeply contextualized and highly contested. As such, their transformability, through

questioning, is fundamental to policy formulation and implementation.
