Women

Sudanese women are the main force behind many of their country’s social and political movements and are therefore important agents of change; from the women during the Mahdiya period, whose histories have been mostly omitted, to the women who marched during the 2018 revolution. Through an analogy of building a dwelling, the role will be examined of Sudanese women in their society and the impact their knowledge and actions have on everyday life and how this is recorded over time.
