O knihe

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Gender Studies, grade: B, University of Cape Coast (College of Humanities and Legal Studies), course: History, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this long essay is to sample the contributions of the Enyan-Denkyira women to the development of the Enyan-Denkyira society. Specifically, the study seeks to examine Enyan-Denkyira women in political development, with attention to their roles in politics, decision making and the para-security agencies. And to evaluate the contribution of specific Enyan-Denkyira women to economic development.

Though there exists a lot of literature on women in development and theories of women in empowerment, none of these talks about the Enyan-Denkyira women. In recounting the history of Enyan-Denkyira, it is evident that, nothing is said of women aside the evidence of their reproductive roles which allowed the continuation of generations. However, there is literature on Enyan-Denkyira men in development and these are captured in the town's oral history where nothing is said of women but their place in the home. After independence, the trend has not changed much. This has created a gap in the knowledge of the history of the Enyan-Denkyira town and Ghana's history as a whole. This long essay is an attempt to document the contributions of Enyan-Denkyira women to development that would give the contribution of some Enyan-Denkyira women to societal development as a response to filling this gap.
