The "woman question", this book asserts, is a Western one, and not a proper lens for viewing African society. A work that rethinks gender as a Western contruction, The Invention of Women offers a new way of understanding both Yoruban and Western cultures.
Oyewumi traces the misapplication of Western, body-oriented concepts of gender through the history of gender discourses in Yoruba studies. Her analysis shows the paradoxical nature of two fundamental assumptions of feminist theory: that gender is socially constructed in old Yoruba society, and that social organization was determined by relative age.

Review: Dr. Oyeronke Oyewunmi's investigation into gender constructs is an important investigation. It is important in terms of how people of color see themselves as before Western Hemisphere influence, well as, understanding how gender was applied to African people particular African women. This is a game-changing conversation and one that is not an uphill battle but a battle won not only in name but in application. I congratulate her on this wonderful work and we'll push the idea and conversation as far as I possibly can. Particular, in the diaspora aspect of African traditional religions of which I am a priest Iyanifa.

Review: I read the 2003 edition of the 1997 book. It is about the Europeanization of African gender thought after direct colonialism, taking mostly the Nigerian Yoruba as an example. The author disposes of the Western standards of history, state and philosophy including the supposed African lack of all of that. She analyses the differences of Western feminism and pre- and post-colonial African matriarchies (or what's left of it). African hearing instead of European seeing at the top of the senses and the consequences of that; and mostly genderless Yoruba names. And why there is a sisterarchy between European and African feminists. While critizising the Western gender dichotomy, she is also not so fond of too radical homogenizing of female and male. A fresh light on polygamy will challenge the Western feminist.

She avers homosexuality as a foreign concept to Africa, which clearly is a half-truth at best. The word and literal/direct concept is European, the fact that females and males developed various cultural norms of love, sexuality and sociability among themselves isn't exclusively so. Read for example

Review: THis is an excellent book for anyone who wants to understand the importance and the view of yoruba women. This book is an eye opener for me. It allows me to be able to understand the truth about Yoruba view of arabinrin the anafemale.The book makes me proud of my origin as a omo Yoruda(a yoruba Child).
