Offers an intimate look at the lives of African women trying to reconcile motherhood with new professional roles in a context of dramatic social change. The author argues that Beti women delay motherhood as part of a broader attempt to assert a modern form of honor only recently made possible by formal education, Catholicism, and economic change.
