    Eloquent expression by an African woman….her struggle our struggle….!

    Enjoyed every word of “her” story…more please.

    Nigeria is a “Muslim” country where women are deemed inferior to their
    male counterparts…discriminated because of their gender.
    Hopefully women like Chimamanda will influence the liberation of its
    female population…sooner the better…Wonderful story !
