A wide-ranging volume exploring the many aspects of women's political empowerment and development in post-war Sierra Leone. This volume offers an excellent, comprehensive examination of Sierra Leonean women's activism in ending the Civil War, establishing democracy and advancing gender equality. Coming from academic, policy and activist backgrounds, these authors succeed in providing a pathbreaking book - one which takes a transdisciplinary approach in recognizing the critical role of intersectionality and African-centered frameworks (as opposed to neoliberal approaches) in understanding Sierra Leonean women's lived experiences and long history of activism. While many challenges remain for Sierra Leonean women in their quest for a more unified women's movement and full gender equality, this book grapples with these complexities and offers recommendations for achieving gender justice. This is an inspiring collection which makes a major contribution to Feminist, Africanist and Global South scholar-activism!
