THE UNACCLAIMED HEROINES AND CONTEMPORARY ANNANG WOMEN: TRENDS, OPTIONS AND PROSPECTS

Abstract

This study recognises and acknowledges the Annang women of the 1920's, the unacclaimed heroines, who, unfortunately, though martyred, are not immortalized in any part of Annang land. It is difficult to overlook the contributions of these women to the evolution of a strong, virile and courageous female image in Annang land. This study is structured on a juxtaposition of the Annang woman as the active member of the nationalist movement in the late 1920s, and the contemporary Annang woman. It explores the trends, prospects and options available to the Annang woman in contemporary society. Recognizing the activism that characterized the early twentieth century Annang women, it is pertinent to appraise the trends of events as well as available options to contemporary women.
