<h2>General Remarks </h2>
Sara Panata
<h4>Open Access and Reproduction </h4>
To date, there is no open-access digital archive of the materials used in this paper. 
Reproductions of the archival materials are from the holdings of the National Archives of Ibadan. They are reproduced with their agreement. I would like to thank the staff at the Nigerian National Archives in Ibadan for their assistance in facilitating my access to the collection and their permission to reproduce some items. 
Copies (microfilms) of these materials are also present in other archives as stated below for each newspaper journal. 
<h4>Location and Dates </h4>
For the paper, I mostly used the press published in 1950, but a complete list of the useful items to build my reflection is presented below. The three newspapers are also available in different European libraries, mostly in microfilm form, for periods that are not always easy to determine: item records of the different archival centers may not contain complete listings. Presumably, these libraries rely on the resources of the Center for Research Libraries, which has produced microfilm and digital versions of collection segments (<a href="http://www.crl.edu/about" target="_self">http://www.crl.edu/about</a>). To have an idea of where to consult these newspapers, please check Worldcat, the world’s largest network of library content (<a href="https://www.worldcat.org" target="_self">https://www.worldcat.org</a>). 
<h4>Chronology for the Women’s Sections and Letters to the Editor </h4>
The newspaper collections I consulted have gaps in their holdings and did not allow me to determine the exact chronology of the women’s sections and letters to the editor. From the newspapers consulted for this paper and other publications, I could date back the beginning of the women’s columns to the 1940s. Farther research is needed to fill this gap.
