Woman in Waiting

Description

There  is  no  gainsaying  the  obvious  that  women  have  played  leadership  roles  in  the development of various African societies from pre-colonial days till now. Even though the patriarchy system in Africa cannot be denied, yet, the African woman possesses the power that binds the society together. In traditional African society, the survival of the family and the  future  of  marriage  depended  a  great  deal  on  the  African  woman.

The girl who has just become a woman now lays in wait for her man, donning her traditional dress, bathed in colour and looking her best, now prepares for her future.
