Abstract

From century to century, education for women/girls has always been an issue in the world, especially in developing countries. Education has also been seen by some cultures as root causes of change to their cultural norms. Having education indeed does allow a person to make proper choices about their future life. However, this idea of choices has not always been the case in the countries where most of the population is not educated. This article analyzed the significance of education by looking at the women with education and women without education in Kenya. It is obvious that women with education have great autonomy when it comes to decision-making process that involves choices.

Key words: Gender, development, women with education, women without education, analysis of women’s education.
