History of Women in Ethiopia

This volume on Ethiopian women's history is a pioneering project in Ethiopian educational documentation, bringing together the research that has been developed on the subject up to the 2010s. It examines a wide range of topics on women's issues using critical, methodological and chronological approaches. Nineteen researchersworked on all the political, religious and social dimensions of the project, exploring women's issues related to religion, work, education, political and economic participation, health, sports, etc. Each topic has its own dedicated section made up of successive chapters that seek either to cover the period from antiquity to the present day or to analyse sub­topics from different perspectives. The volume brings together historians and social scientists from Ethiopia and abroad who share a common interest in developing the field of women's history and gender in Ethiopia. They have worked together to address different methodological issues and topics in a single volume, the intention being that it should be used as a reference material in an academic context. It is the first attempt of its kind to provide a scholarly and academic overview of Ethiopian women's history. It presents the various studies that have been carried out in this area of knowledge, with chapters that summarise previous research, present the state of the art of thematic studies or propose original research in as yet unexplored areas of study.
