One interesting part of these chapter is when Grandmè Ifé said “You must know that everything a mother does, she does for her child’s own good. You cannot always carry the pain. You must liberate yourself….My heart, it weeps like a river for the pain we have caused you.” it suggests that any true liberation must begin with physical freedom, with a woman’s reclaiming of her body as her own. The woman’s body is assigned piecewise to duties and tasks, every bit put to the service of the family’s honor.
