【感想】
關(guān)于南非女性的地位以及他們的努力斗爭(zhēng)
原文中提到:
? ? ...... was the chant they would rally to during the freedom struggle. "When you strike a woman, you strike a rock." As a nation, we rexognized the power of women, but in the home, they were expected to submit and obey.
以及后面媽媽對(duì)作者的提問(wèn): If it is hard for her to raise me alone without a husband 的回答哆窿，"Just because I live without a man doesn't mean I've never had a husband. God is my husband."
