Summary:
Ibadan market women were active in political mobilization, and they engaged in eclectic political actions during the decolonization process. Their leaders significantly swayed the electorate both in and beyond the market places. This study examines the historical development of the roles of Ibadan market women in politics between 1900 and 1995 with a view to establishing their contributions. Ibadan Divisional and Provincial papers, and newspapers of the nationalists' era (1945-1960)-Nigerian Tribune and Southern Nigerian Defender from the National Archives Ibadan were consulted for information on the activities of Ibadan market women. Secondary data were obtained from the Women Research and Documentation Centre and other resource centers. Simultaneously, Ibadan market women were involved in party politics of the National Council for Nigeria and Cameroons, Action Group, and traditional power politics. Book jacket.
