Emphasizing the centrality of gender as a motive force for sexual expression, the book stresses that contemporary Ghanaian women''s sexual expressions are caught at the intersection of traditional gender expectations of heteronormativity and women's perceptions of how heteronormativity should operate in their lives. The book''s emphasis on women''s agency is significant because it highlights a flaw in earlier, Western accounts of African women''s lives under Africa''s special brand of patriarchy that held women in total subjection to men. \u003ci\u003eGender and Sexuality\u003c\/i\u003e debunks that trope and presents Ghanaian women''s dynamism, resilience, and vulnerabilities embedded in the diverse cultures in which they live.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042657567063,"sku":"9781793628466","price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/gender-and-sexuality-in-ghanaian-societies-9781793628466","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
