"This book deals in particular with the status of women in post-independent Kenya. It presents basic information on Kenyan society and economy with particular reference to women. It also illustrates how the colonial economy disrupted the traditional division of labour between man and woman. The book assesses the Kenyan women’s role in public affairs and their participation in mass-based politics. It carries a detailed discussion of issues affecting Kenyan women in areas such as employment, migration, marriage, female circumcision, education, health, social welfare and religion. It also tries to offer suggestions for improvement of the status of women in Kenya–as seen by the author."
