Women Of The United States

In Abina and the Important Men, lies a portrayal of daily life and operations of the area of Asante and its relations with British jurisdiction, on the Gold Coast of West Africa in 1876.

I noticed how women are still treated/looked at as objects. I think it's really annoying how women couldn't speak or even have a say in anything and if they tried to talk they were ignored. “But they had often wound up sitting silent in political meetings or trying to speak and being ignored” (Collins 183).
