New
novel exposes misogyny in patriarchal cultures
‘Being
a Woman in Africa’ offers an insightful glimpse into the
mistreatment of women
In
her new book “Being a Woman in Africa” [published by AuthorHouse]
author Ruth Pink draws on her childhood experience to craft a novel
that exposes the horrible treatment of women in some African
cultures.
The
book
follows
the soulful tale of Rosewitta,
a young African woman, born into a misogynistic society. Her
tyrannical father is reluctant to send her to school, and behaves
violently towards the family. As the protagonist's story unfolds, the
reader follows the prejudices she encounters throughout her life,
from the sexual harassment she suffers at work, as well as the
setbacks she faces, such as her husband’s death.
Pink's empowering text provides a message of hope for readers.
“My
main goal is to create awareness
about the problems that some women still face today – lack of
education, domestic violence, sexual harassment, rape, poverty and
poor health”, Pink states. “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.”
