Women and the Nigeria-Biafra war : reframing gender and conflict in Africa
Gloria Chuku (Editor), Sussie U. Aham-Okoro (Editor)
"This comprehensive study of the Nigeria-Biafra War through the lens of gender captures women's complex experiences and the valiant ways they carried out old and new responsibilities in wartime and postwar Nigeria. It fills a gap in war scholarship fifty years after the conflict by presenting women as embodiments of vulnerability and agency"-- Provided by publisher
