Adewale's work highlights the ways in which these factors interact to create a unique set of challenges for African women, and she argues that any meaningful feminist movement in Africa must take these factors into account.

The book also highlights the ways in which African women can assert their agency and fight for their rights within the context of their culture and history. The book's legacy is significant as it has helped to shed light on the experiences of African women and how their experiences intersect with gender, race, and class.
