Profiles contemporary African women in four West African countries: Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal and Benin. We meet a woman active in the movement against female genital mutilation, a health care worker educating women about sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS, and businesswomen who describe how they have set up an association to share expertise and provide mutual assistance. Examines grass-roots efforts toward education and improvement as Africa opens up to democracy.
