Abstract
Over the years historical discourse and historical studies in Africa and elsewhere have dwelt largely on the exploits done by men. Historical writings have been gendered insensitive with regards to the women's roles in economic development, especially in rural communities. This paper sets out to analyze the roles of women in the economic growth of Obollo-Afor especially in the cashew industry since 1978. The paper adopts a qualitative research methodology and made use of both primary and secondary sources such as relevant books, institutional publications, oral interviews among others. It was discovered in the course of the research that the roles of the women in cashew industry have contributed significantly to the economic development of the area.
