In today's Wednesday ABC I pay tribute to the women of rural Africa.
To all those women who eke out a subsistence living in harsh environmment. They till the fields; very often do the laundry in a stream; and they collect the wood for cooking.
Many walk miles to draw water and so often they prepare their family meals on an open fire.
Many are the glue who hold the family together and who despite all the hardships still maintain a cheerful countenance and show a pride in their children.
THESE ARE TRULY THE SUPER WOMEN OF AFRICA

What a special post. I appreciate being reminded of these hard working women...
It is with great pleasure I read a post like this. We all joke a bit in our posts - maybe to much. Sometimes we need a post like this to show us some of the real world.
A great post.
Well done Suzi
A fitting tribute I'm sure.

I've long admired the "backbone" of Africa -- these amazing women who hold the country up like the bundle of wood on their heads. What a beautiful tribute.

A very thoughtful post and unique choice for S.
I enjoyed this post and photos very much.
A very moving tribute with amazing photos. I'll be checking this blog often, for sure.
Amazing women aren't they. They often work twice as hard as their husbands. I met several African women on a Women's conference, and I was impressed.
Thank you for this glimpse into Africa!
