The life of African Women changed with the arrival of the colonial empire. In pre-colonial Africa, women were active farmers and were responsible for planting, weeding, and harvesting along with the food preparation and child care. Women were expected to feed their own families and allocated their own fields for that purpose. Also, women were involved in local trading activity.
