This chapter explores the role of non-Western-educated Temne market women in shaping the social and economic history of the colony. It addresses the neglect of women’s participation in the economy, and highlights the cultural foundations of Temne women’s activism. The previous chapters note that the Temne organized around various institutions to strengthen their influence in the colony. This chapter shows that Temne women traders organized around commercial institutions, the leadership of powerful market women, and the TTA. In conjunction with women’s groups, Temne women used commercial institutions to simultaneously enhance their profile and Temne influence in this British colony.
