The book delves into the engagement of Portugal and Spain with women in their African colonies during the 1950s to 1970s, highlighting the complexities of benevolent colonial rhetoric versus actual practices like forced resettlement and sexual exploitation. It centers on Angola, Mozambique, Western Sahara, and Equatorial Guinea, utilizing newly uncovered documents from women's organizations. The author examines African women's perceptions of their roles within colonial structures and contrasts these with the perspectives of anticolonial movements regarding women's contributions to independence and nation-building.
