During the colonial period, plantation authorities in Cameroon, like elsewhere in Africa and Asia, depended on male labour and showed little or no interest in the recruitment of female labour. Over time, the incessant shortage and unstable nature of the labour force led them to reconsider the permanent engagement of women as was the case of the Tole Tea Estate. The plantation hierarchy believed rightly or wrongly that women would be docile and therefore, would not agitate against the exploitative plantation policies as opposed to their male counterparts. This was however, a gruesome miscalculation as the women soon developed a “militantic” behaviour that even surmounted that of male workers in the plantation milieu. The nature of their comportment and the manner in which they agitated for the amelioration of their working condition was sharpened by their affiliation to some Christian domination in the Tole vicinity. As such, with the help of a random survey carried out among 150 women in 2016 and with the use of a historical approach guided by both primary and secondary sources, this work argues that some Christian teachings acted as an eye opener to the women in knowing and claiming their rights. It further contends that some of the protests that the women staged against the plantation management could be attributed to their accumulated knowledge and behaviour imbued with religious feelings and actions as portrayed in protest songs, placards and other related aspects. The paper concludes that the Christian background of the women was therefore, a vehicle for dismembering the obnoxious plantation policies and forcing the authorities to act in their favour.
