Ethiopian studies remains an underdeveloped field, despite considerable recent work.1 Ethiopia lacked the colonial infrastructure upon which scholars based so much of their work on other parts of sub-Saharan Africa, and revolutionary transformation seems likely to inhibit further research in Ethiopia for some time to come. Within the Ethiopian field the Abyssinian peoples, the Amhara and the Tegrefifia-speakers, have received the preponderant treatment.2 However, nowhere does the Abyssinian literature treat seriously of women. Women must rank very high among the neglected themes of Ethiopian historical and social studies. The neglect of women appears starkly from a quick glance at the various proceedings of the Ethiopian studies conferences and at the contents of the Journal of Ethiopian Studies. Only two articles in the J.E.S. seemed at all germane to the position of women,3 while only one paper in the three volumes of published proceedings of the 1966 Addis Ababa Ethiopian Studies Conference was deemed highly germane.4 Efforts are being made to remedy this situation and no survey would be complete without reference to the work of Salome Gebre Egziabher, Judy Olmstead, and Laketch Dirasse.5
