Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article discusses women's contribution to the Mau Mau
rebellion and to Kenyan nationalism in general. It argues that women's roles in the Mau Mau
rebellion were not limited to smugling food and passing secrets to rebells as some writers
claimed. Instead, the document shows, women played critical roles both as organzers of
nationalist political rallies and as active agents in the armed insurgency. The author
recounts these roles through interviews with several women who, like their male
counterparts, were imprisoned and tortured by agents of the colonial
governement.
