Description: This book is an attempt to understand women in Ghana. Ashutosh Trivedi believes in the true potential of women, therefore considers women as powerful pillars, which provides base to the family and the society. But, these pillars have been neglected worldwide in one or the other ways. 

Like many other African countries, Ghana is also diverse in nature. Therefore, the conditions and status of women vary from society to society. This book deals with the societal aspects, education, political participation and violence against women. The author also attempts to find out root cause of some of the problems associated with women to find out solutions.

The author feels that, like many other countries women in Ghana are also left behind as far as their participation and share in the process of development is concerned. Even in the process of globalization, women in Ghana are left behind. It reflects the violation of rights, equality and justice.
