Abstract: This paper focuses on women and politics in Nigeria. It is a well-known fact that women all over the world are catalysts for development and change. Yet in the study of twentieth century Nigerian political history, the role of women has tended to be regarded as insignificant (Olojede, 1990). In fact, it has been ‘relegated to the footnotes’ (Mba, 1997). This is because the public domain has traditionally been associated with men, and the private with women. Women have only been marginally involved in the public, formal process of government and they did not generally hold positions of visible political authority. So, as Mba rightly argues, their political activity in the period had consisted mainly of attempts to obtain influence over those who heldsuch authority. Although this, in itself, is a form of political power, it is indirect. It is not as strong as the access to political participation which women had through a ‘complex and sophisticated network of relationships, rights and control of resources’.
