"This volume on Ethiopian women’s history is a pioneering project in Ethiopian educational documentation, bringing together the research that has been developed on Ethiopian women’s history up to the 2010s. It examines a wide range of topics related to women’s issues using critical, methodological and chronological approaches. Nineteen researchers worked on the project in all its political, religious and social dimensions, exploring women’s issues related to religion, work, education, political and economic participation, health, sports, etc. Each theme has its own dedicated section, made up of successive chapters that either attempt to cover the period from antiquity to the present day, or analyse sub-themes from different perspectives.

The volume brings together historians and social scientists from Ethiopia and abroad who share a common interest in developing the field of women’s history and gender in Ethiopia. They have worked together to address different methodological issues and topics in a single volume, with the aim of being used as a reference material in an academic context. It is the first attempt of its kind to provide a scholarly and academic overview of Ethiopian women’s history. It presents the various studies that have been carried out in this field of knowledge, with chapters that synthesise previous research, present the state of the art of thematic studies, or propose original research in still unexplored areas of study."
