520 "Lorelle D. Semley explores the historical and political
meanings of motherhood in West Africa and beyond, showing
that the roles of women were far more complicated than
previously thought. While in Kétou, Benin, Semley
discovered that women were treasurers, advisors, ritual
specialists, and colonial agents in addition to their more
familiar roles as queens, wives, and sisters. These women
with special influence made it difficult for the French
and others to enforce an ideal of subordinate women. As
she traces how women gained prominence, Semley makes clear
why powerful mother figures still exist in the symbols and
rituals of everyday practices"--Provided by publisher.
