Judith Byfield is studying a women’s tax revolt in Abeokuta, Nigeria, in 1947, marking a new stage of collective organizing among women as they transformed a critique of local officials into a critique of colonialism. Byfield’s research explores women’s anticolonial activism, political agency, and intellectual contribution to nationalism.
