Woman’s Mysteries of a Primitive People. The Ibibios of Southern Nigeria.

£14.00

For Ibibio women motherhood is the crown of life, and therefore “jujus” thought to have the power of granting fertility or removing the curse of barrenness are held in greater reverence than all others. This book is a study of the mysteries of womanhood amongst primitive people. It deals with many aspects of the lives of women, such as pre-natal influence and birth customs, affinities or “bush souls”, childhood, maidenhood and marriage, wedded life and motherhood, and much more.
