Book excerpt: "If we wonder why it is necessary to consider women as a distinct social phenomenon, we have only to look at most of the existing literature on the Sudan, be it economics, sociology, history or anthropology. Though not tacitly acknowledging a sexual bias, they are basically accounts of Sudanese male society, past and present. What we are hoping to do in this volume is to describe women's lives, activities and values, as far as possible from a woman's point of view, to counter-balance earlier biases. Then it is possible that we may reach a fuller understanding of Sudanese society as a whole."--Page 4 of cover; from the introduction.
