 Women are involved with food in three main ways, farming, marketing and cooking. In all three cases, their involvement is usually as independent producers; they are not managed or controlled by anybody. The exception is while they are young and learning; they learn from their mothers or other women that raise and socialize them. For more about the traditional independence of Akan women, see Covert Gynocracy. Links are here also to ritual uses of food and to working with clay, more work for women. ..
