Sale Details


• Description: Dorothy Amaury Talbot (née Amaury, 1871 – 1916) was an English plant collector and ethnographer in Nigeria. She and her husband and sister collected over 4000 Nigerian plant species, including newly discovered ones. She also studied and wrote on the Ibibio people.


This vintage hardback book titled "WOMAN'S MYSTERIES of a PRIMITIVE PEOPLE" by D. Amaury Talbot, published in 1915 by Cassell & Company in London, offers a unique insight into the societal role of the Ibibio women living in a primitive setting. The book is illustrated and is a 1st edition, making it a valuable collectable for those interested in non-fiction subjects related to anthropology and gender studies.

With its original language being English and publication place in the United Kingdom, this book provides a fascinating exploration of the mysteries surrounding the lives of these primitive people.


Cultural Exploration:

It delves into the intricate cultural dynamics of the Ibibio tribe, offering a detailed look at their traditions, beliefs, and societal structures.


Women's Roles:

The book highlights the significance of women's roles in Ibibio society, from childbirth practices to spiritual beliefs, challenging Western perspectives on gender.


Rituals and Ceremonies:

It examines various rituals and ceremonies, providing insight into the "mysteries" that shape women's lives within the community.


Historical Context:

The work is a product of early 20th-century ethnography and reflects the author's unique experiences as one of the first European women to explore these areas.

The book is not just an academic work; it is a celebration of the resilience and wisdom of Ibibio women, inviting readers to reconsider their understanding of gender, spirituality, and cultural identity.
