Ifi Amadiume’s Male Daughters, Female Husbands: Gender and Sex in an African Society requires a retrospect while framing our conversations around Christianity, gender, and sexuality in our current African societies. Her book is an ethnographical study of how sex and gender were socioculturally constructed among the Igbo people of Nnobi town in the precolonial and colonial, and postcolonial eras. In the precolonial period, females could assume the position of male daughters with the right to inheritance and female husbands who married wives (got men for them) for more descendants and as a portrayal of power and wealth. Although women occupied such power roles within patriarchal systems that still maintained the subjugation of women and distinct roles of wifehood and motherhood, gen der roles were not necessarily biologically and sexually oriented. Indigenous spirituality assigned economic space and power to women. Women had the goddess of economic success, they owned and controlled the market space. Gender was not constructed in hierarchical and dualistic manner. The narrative highlights the significant role colonialism and Christianity played in assigning particular gender roles to males, and females, andtherefore silencing women as a sign of true humility and obedience to biblical teachings they received from their newfound religion. Women were ripped off their political, spiritual, and economic powers while men were empowered by colonial/Christian ideologies and education. The chapter seeks to reflect on the experiences of women in the then precolonial and colonial Nnobi society and the role Christianity plays in the suppression and liberation of women in postcolonial Africa through an Afrocentric-Womanist Paradigm. The Afrocentric-womanist paradigm provides a framework for researching African women in an African context.
