Gender and national development : issues and perspectives

This book serves to shed a light on the position of women in media and how these institutions shape the women's contributions to national development.

The authors argue that women are unsung heroes, driving the growth of nations.

Nevertheless, their stories are seldom told, they are often stereotyped and marginalized within society.

This form of discrimination serves to take away the voices of women in all social stratas, especially in the developing nations of Africa.

It is little wonder that there is gender inequality, gender bias, and gender injustice in society.

This book highlights literature which may be used to actualize gender equality and social justice for women.

By creating a discussion around gender, society will begin to understand the value and importance of women in engineering development.

Women are vital to social change.
