| | Woman's Mysteries of a Primitive People The Ibibios of Southern Nigeria by D. Amaury Talbot [1915] |
This is an ethnography of the Iboibo, a Nigerian tribe. Written by a pioneering English woman in the early 20th Century, this book focuses on the ritual life of women. Despite the naïve colonialist attitude, it presents a female perspective which was seldom seen in the ethnographic literature of the period.
