Review of Joy Kwesiga's Women's Access to Higher Education in Africa: Uganda's Experience. Kampala: Fountain Publishers, 2002
The book is divided into two sections: Part One describes women's access to formal education in sub-Saharan Africa and Uganda particularly. Here Kwesiga explains theories and concepts underpinning the understanding of gender equality and how it functions in society, and analyses how these concepts are applicable to education in the region. Using extensive statistical data, as well as case studies, she paints a grim picture of women's access to educational institutions and resources in sub-Saharan Africa, where women comprise only 33 percent of total enrolments at higher education institutions
