Aba Women's Rebellion [And] Hoda Sha'arawi: Nationalist and Feminist.
African-American Inst., New York, NY. School Services Div.
Two modules comprise this document--one on the Aba women's rebellion in Nigeria and one on the Egyptian feminist movement. The paper on the Aba women's rebellion in Nigeria presents a background discussion of the women's movement and colonialism in Nigeria. The larger part of the paper is a lesson plan which investigates the women's rebellion through a question-answer exercise. Questions asked include (1) why did the women revolt? (2) what factors facilitated the Aba rebellion? (3) why did the women attack their own chiefs as well as the British? and (4) is the right to resist unqualified? Two enrichment activities dealing with international civil rights are suggested. Intended for use in teaching students about nationalism in Egypt, the Egyptian feminist paper focuses on a woman named Hoda Sha'arawi who carried her convictions from the nationalist to the feminist struggle in 1919. The objective of the paper is to enable students to describe the characteristics of colonialism and nationalism and their links to feminism. An historical sketch of the activities of Hoda Sha'arawi is presented and questions and activities are suggested. (Author/DB)
