Please write a one page commentary on the film Asante Market Women using the insights
you gained by reading Ward's first chapter (you can base your commentary only on the
first part of the film since we had to stop before the end). You are expected to reflect
upon the complexities and the problems which deal with issues of gender. The film can
be interpreted in many ways, but you should be able to single out key aspects of the film
which relates to issues such as significance of tradition, economy, sexual relationship,
parenting, power relationships, etc. Ask yourself questions such as;
 what kind of insight the film provided,
 what aspects of social and cultural life one needs to know in order to reach an
understanding of gender relations in a particular setting.
The due date is 21 January at the start of class.
