Rosewitta is born
in a poor but very large family. She and her mother struggle for
survival on a daily basis; in a society laden with certain cultural
beliefs and societal imbalances. If a pair of knickers are considered
a luxury in her immediate environment, how does the wider society
deal with some of her other basic needs?
Rosewitta's story
is narrated in very simple terms highlighting the daily struggles of
women in such an environment. The story not only narrates, but goes
further to explore how women manage to survive and at the same time
raise very large families. After all is said and done, does anyone
recognize this plight of women? Does Rosewitta, like all other women
in similar circumstances, succeed in her quest for survival and
recognition?
