ABSTRACT
The study has been concerned with Women and the socio-economic development of Ibibioland 1885-1970.

The research reviewed relevant literature on the topic under consideration, examining women in pre-colonial Ibibioland, women in development and challenges facing women in Ibibioland. To achieve the objectives of this study, relevant books were consulted to elicit information on the role of women and their socio-economic role in the society.
