Notes
Introduction by Dr. D.C. Dorward, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia. This conflict, at the height of which 50 women were killed and another 50 wounded in two clashes between British troops and police and Igbo women demonstrators, came about as the result of a lack of understanding on the part of the Colonial authorities of the position that women held in Igbo society. The documents reproduced here consist, in the main, of Minutes of Evidence and Reports of the various Commissions of Enquiry set up to look into the disturbances of 1929.
