Three Swahili women Book

I came across this book when I was doing research for a paper I was writing about the history of East- African women pre-colonial era. There is so much history that has been written about West -African especially Nigeria. I wanted to concentrate my research on the history of East African women. The Three Swahili women definitely filled a part of that void that was missing in my research. It is a good primary source if you want to know more East African women who by the way are very different from West African Women ( in general women from Africa are characterized depending on, which region of Africa they come from, West, East, Central, South or North: I have friends from all over Africa, but my closest friends are mainly from East Africa because our cultures have similarities). Some times Western countries confuse West African history to include all of Africa. Contrary to this believe, African women are different from across the continent. This is not even fair review of this book, please read it for your self. You will not regret it.
