"Women in Politics"
Igbo women had a very strong presence in the traditional political world. The Igbo people did not have stipulations on who could speak up and who could not. Any adult that had something valuable to say in a conversation, had the right to do so. Women were given rights by their achievement, it was not about their husbands accomplishments but solely about what they brought to the table. Although, they were not able to speak on all subjects of matter, they could speak on things that considered them and other women. This was a rare circumstance, but still accepted in their society by invitation.
Women were still seen as second to men, even though they had some power and influence to speak on things that concerned them. Due to the fact that the wealth was solely based off men and their status within their community women did not hold as much high status as men who had that political advantage over women. Most of the political standings were based off of the patriarchal part of the women’s families, so if there was no power within that part, they also did not have much power. After colonialism, women’s meetings were put into categories like “Mikiri” and “Mitiri”.
