Question

1.   Discuss the leadership role of women in the management of the African community. Illustrate your discussion with examples from a literary text in your main language (African language)

Answer 1

• African women are guardians of their children's welfare and have an explicit responsibility to provide for them materially. They are the household managers, providing food, nutrition, water, health, education, and family planning to an extent greater than elsewhere in the developing world. for example, In Igbo culture, as portrayed in Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, women are the weaker sex, but are also endowed with qualities that make them worthy of worship, like the ability to bear children. The dominant role for women is: first, to make a pure bride for an honorable man, second, to be a submissive wife, and third, to bear many children.
