The Igbo “Women’s War” of 1929: Documents Relating to the Aba
Riots in Eastern Nigeria *
1929
This conflict, at the height of which 50 women were killed and another 50 wounded in two clashes between British
troops and police and Igbo women demonstrators, came about as the result of a lack of understanding on the part of
the Colonial authorities of the position that women held in Igbo society. The documents reproduced here consist, in
the main, of Minutes of Evidence and Reports of the various Commissions of Enquiry set up to look into the
disturbances of 1929.
