British Women and the Nigerian Civil War

As the Nigerian historian Onianwa Oluchukwu Ignatus observes in this study, British women played a vital role in the civil war that broke out in Nigeria in 1967. They saw the war as a challenge to womanhood in a male-dominated society, and became part of the formidable force that brought the issue of the war to the global community.

Dupa cum observa istoricul nigerian Onianwa Oluchukwu Ignatus in acest studiu, femeile britanice au jucat un rol vital in razboiul civil care a izbucnit in Nigeria in 1967. Ei au vazut razboiul ca o provocare pentru femeie intr-o societate dominata de barbati si au devenit parte a forta formidabila care a adus problema razboiului comunitatii globale.
