Reviews

"There is no other book on Yoruba women and religion with such breadth, ethnographic richness, and updated data. Olajubu provides an opportunity to consider Yoruba gender practices in various socio-historical contexts, and she fills an information gap on Yoruba women in more recent charismatic and Pentecostal churches."

"This book's thorough study of the interplay of gender and power relations in the Yoruba religious sphere provides a fresh interpretation to dominant theses and ideas in this area of study."
