Disobedience Podcast: Part 1 - The Egba Women's Revolt

In this episode, the Disobedience podcast in collaboration with the Fletcher Forum podcast explores the Egba women’s revolt - a feminist anti-colonial movement that took place in the late 1940s in Abeokuta, a town in southwest Nigeria. We discuss the various tactics used by the women in protesting the British colonial government as well as the erasure of women’s liberation movements in Nigeria.
