An in-depth view of the challenges that many Ugandan women face when running enterprises and the often ingenious ways in which they have overcome these - all against a backdrop of trade liberalisation, economic and environmental change, drought and disease. Margaret Snyder's previous book, Women in African Economies: From Burning Sun to Boardroom (Fountain Press, 2000) first tapped into this hitherto under-researched area. Above the Odds revisits some of these women years later, giving a unique account of how they have coped since.
