ABSTRACT
Emphasizing agriculture, trade, and industry, this study has investigated the vital roles women performed in the precolonial economy of Irrua. The studies show how women were active economic agents who greatly helped their communities to flourish rather than docile members of society. Women were in charge of growing food crops in agriculture, therefore guaranteeing both home food supply and trade-able surplus. Their farming activities went beyond just subsistence; they also included commercial agriculture, in which they helped to sell and trade farm goods at nearby markets. Along with giving them financial freedom, this helped them to establish themselves as important participants in the pre-colonial Irrua food chain.
