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
