| This book examines women’s participation in social, economic and political development in West Africa. The book looks at women from the premise of being active agents in the development processes within their communities, thereby subverting the dominate narrative of women as passive recipients of development. *** Inhalt *** 1 Introduction: A Dichotomy of Development—Women’s Empowerment and Women’s Inequality by Kelly Ann Krawczyk and Bridgett A.
