    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; household economy; agency; gender; women; gendered livelihoods; farming; cotton; edible plants; shea; beer brewing; Bobo; Burkina Faso; West Africa; socialantropologi; Social Anthropology;

    Abstract : This study investigates the functioning of the domestic economy of smallholder cotton farmers with the overall aim of interrogating female agency, based on ethnographic fieldwork in Burkina Faso in the mid-1990s. The thesis addresses the following interrelated research questions: How were the smallholder domestic economies organized and how did they function? What were the mechanisms for economic inequality and social stratification? To what extent did women benefit from cotton farming? What economic strategies were available to women? And finally, how could female agency be conceptualized in relation to the domestic unit under male headship? Permeating the analysis is the insight that domestic economies of many West African farming societies consist of separate but interconnected economic domains, the “common” economy of the farming unit and the “individual” economies of its male and female members.
