Abstract:
In spite of the chronic effects of colonialism on Nigeria as a whole and women in particular and the detrimental effects of their domestic roles on their achievements, Nigerian women have towered above their contemporaries in certain ramifications right from the precolonial time and even beyond. Despite this, historical delineation of their roles have been devoted an insignificant portion in books and literature. This paper, using the historical method of enquiry, attempts to present the roles of women in the development of Nigeria.
