Professor Lilian Lem Atanga, author of Language, gender and power in the Cameroonian parliament (Langaa, 2010)

“A gripping and mind blowing feminist play with women battling against an oppressive African tradition that refuses to recognise that women could be equal to or better than men in terms of capacity. A play that seeks to balance, albeit with little success tradition and women’s (auto)empowerment. The author has succeeded in capturing the battles of many African women with characters such as the women she presents in the play. Even when tradition oppresses, women have pockets of justice they can explore and exploit by riveting to the state judicial system which exonerates them from the injustices of tradition. Nkamanyang has shown that women’s battles have a future and are worth fighting for.”
