Condizione della donna in Africa

L'evoluzione della condizione femminile e dei diritti delle donne in Africa sono legati alla cultura e alla storia dell'Africa.

Numerosi studi antichi sono comparsi nel corso del tempo che hanno affrontato la storia delle donne nel continente e nelle nazioni africane^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] ^[5]^[6]; sono inoltre emerse numerose indagini che hanno inserito l'Africa subsahariana nell'ambito della storia delle donne^[7]^[8]. Vi sono studi e ricerche per paesi e regioni specifiche come l'Egitto, l'Etiopia, il Marocco, la Nigeria^[9] e il Lesotho^[10].

Gli studiosi hanno rivolto espressamente la loro attenzione agli eventi innovativi per la storia delle donne africane, come la musica del Malawi, le tecniche di tessitura di Sokoto e la linguistica storica^[11].
