| Zusammenfassung: | The article examines female leadership and its contribution to the task of nation-building within the context of African religion with special regard to Nigeria. While every woman is engaged at the foundation level of the family, a few women transcend this role to exercise direct religious or political leadership. In religious leadership women are seen as medicine-women, diviners, mediums and priestesses. Women in political leadership positions have access to the centre of government. (DÜI-Ott) |
