| dc.description.abstract | Until very recently, women were not accorded enviable status in the society.This assertion was not peculiar to Africa or developing societies alone but,even the most advanced communities of the world. Women were considered to be not suitable for any position of responsibility even in the most civilized communities. In some cultures,women were allowed to engage in domestic chores alone and deemed not fit to pursuit anything outside this traditional role. This conception of unsuitability of women for any high endeavour was very common place. After a lengthy period of non-recognition,however,things started changing.History is replete with many successful women in virtually every field of human endeavours. With the eye-catching status women etched for themselves in the annals of time, none is comparable to the enviable intellectual height attained by Nana Asmau bin Uthman bin Fodio. This paper does not intend to go into details of Nana Asmau's life or her inputs to intellctualism. The concern is only to present her depiction of quality features of women in her own time as contained in some of her elegies | |
