Peasants, Traders, and Wives Shona Women in the History of Zimbabwe, 1870-1939

"...it is only in recent years that the historical experiences of women in southern and east Africa have really been examined in depth. Schmidt's contribution, the implications of which are more profound than the narrow geographical focus (one District in Zimbabwe) would suggest, is to be highly recommended. The approach is that of a feminist historian seeking to recapture the female voice which is otherwise excluded from standard nationalist and much radical historiography.Schmidt, Elizabeth is the author of 'Peasants, Traders, and Wives Shona Women in the History of Zimbabwe, 1870-1939', published 1992 under ISBN 9780435080662 and ISBN 0435080660.
