Discourses on gender are most often very complex over roles. Scholars especially on Black African societies in many ways have attempted to demarcate such roles along the female-male divide. As interestingly as this knowledge construction is it has more or less been limited to textual representations which do not quickly display visual imageries of the specific and cross-edging roles that gender division of roles play in African socio-economic processes. It is in this context that with the aid of visual illustrations and using a qualitative historical research design informed by primary and secondary sources, this paper presents and critically examines the extent to which economic functions are shared and distinguished between females and males among the Nso’ of the Cameroon Grassfields. It questions whether or not these roles from an iconographic point of view have remained resilient or whether the line is progressively blurring off to give room to more complementary trading of roles. It is argued that the overburdened textual literature on how females and males negotiate economic roles among the Nso could be quickly conveyed in visual symbols.
