'Being a Woman in Africa' offers firsthand glimpse into mistreatment of women........
HATFIELD, HERTFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND - In her new book "Being a Woman in Africa" author Ruth Pink draws on her childhood experiences to craft a novel that exposes the horrible treatment of women in some African cultures.
Rosewitta, a young African woman, is born and bred in a family and a society, which have prejudices against women. Her polygamous father is reluctant to send her to school, and he is violent towards her, her mother and sisters. She manages to get an education, but goes on to suffer sexual harassment at work. At the end, Rosewitta is the only one in the family who seems to have an opening in life, but at the point when success seems to be within reach, her husband dies at a tender age and she suffers further prejudices.
"My main goal is to create awareness about the problems that some women face today - lack of education, domestic violence, sexual harassment, rape, poverty and poor health," Pink says. "I want to motivate people around the world to take action and to think about the issues which come out of the story. Where possible - and after reading this book - readers should start making changes which help womenfolk, wherever they are in this world - big or small changes."
