Civilizing Women: British Crusades in Colonial Sudan
Janice Boddy
Focuses on efforts to stop female circumcision in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan between 1920 and 1946. This book suggests that efforts to suppress female circumcision were tied to the continuation of slavery and the rise of commercial cotton growing in Sudan, as well as to concerns about infant mortality and maternal health.
