"Focusing on the chiefdom of Nso' in the Bamenda 'Grassfields' of British Cameroon, Women of the Grassfields is an extremely significant work of anthropology and gender studies. Phyllis M. Kaberry's fieldwork was prompted by the conditions in Bamenda in the 1940s when, despite considerable natural resources, there was underpopulation, very high infant mortality, and the status of women was low. By examining the social and economic status of women in the region, Kaberry produced a study of Nso' politics and kinship as well as the texture of both men's and women's lives."--BOOK JACKET.
