This monograph examines the changing patterns in human civilization in relation to traditional practices; and within this context it explores the changing roles of women in African society. A critical observation made is that modern African society needs to accord women greater freedom to engage in activities that were hitherto reserved for men. Considering the fact that women constitute more than half the population it makes much economic sense to involve this sector of the population in developmental activities. The monograph argues that for meaningful development to occur in Africa there needs to be concerted effort in educating girls; for it is through the upliftment of women that families and nations can become prosperous.
