Description
THE TRUE-LIFE STORY OF ONE WOMAN'S STRUGGLE TO OVERCOME THE PERILS OF PATRIARCHY, INTERWOVEN WITH A CRITICAL LOOK AT SOCIETY'S ATTITUDE TOWARDS WOMEN AND WOMEN'S RIGHTS.
Wasilat Amoke grew up in Nigeria in the 1950s at a time when the prevailing culture normalised misogyny and gender-based abuse. Poor attitudes towards women and girls consigned her to a life of severe hardship. Her hopes for escaping misery rested on her children, whom she raised within a society that stood aloof yet would have condemned her had she failed.
Steel Woman serves as a powerful lens through which many of today's injustices are examined. It challenges the normalisation of female suffering and will hopefully inspire you to join the fight for gender justice.
'I love this book-it is powerful, passionate, informative, and it made me cry in parts.'
- Noo Saro-Wiwa, Award-Winning Author
