Maybe it was just routine organisation, or were they preparing for the visit of the President of the Republic? Women of Africa and of African descent, from the United States of America, West Indies, North and West Africa, gathered for their first great conference at the Commonwealth Hall of the University College of Ghana recently. They were guests of the Ghana Women's Movement led by Mrs Evelyn Amarteifo. Conspicuously absent were the women of East, Central South, and French Africa. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
