Give Me Children Or I Die
$3.99
In the patriarchal society of Dagomba, a woman’s worth is measured by her ability to bear sons. Failure to produce male heirs can lead to social exclusion, stigma, and even abandonment by family and spouse. Give Me Children Or I Die tells the heart-wrenching story of Madhya, a young woman who struggles with barrenness and the harsh consequences of this cultural prejudice. As her husband takes a third wife to fulfil his desire for male children, Madhya is left alone, facing shame and isolation. But as she searches for answers, Madhya discovers that the problem may not lie with her alone. Through her journey, the novella sheds light on the complex interplay of culture, gender, and health in the struggle for reproductive justice. A gripping tale of love, loss, and resilience, Give Me Children Or I Die challenges us to rethink our assumptions about fertility, gender roles, and the value of human life.
