This article has been supplied.
Smashing the Patriarchy: Why Women Must Rise Up Against Gender-Based Violence is a powerful call to action for women to free themselves from the yoke of patriarchal oppression.
In this comprehensive set of books, author Lethabo Maleka explores the roots of patriarchy and its devastating consequences, particularly in relation to gender-based violence. Drawing inspiration from her extensive research, Maleka challenges traditional beliefs and societal norms that perpetuate the subjugation of women. With a clear and pressing message, she urges women to unite and fight for their rights, offering a roadmap for dismantling patriarchy and creating a more equitable society.
The eight volumes of this book are a testament to all the women who have suffered at the hands of men, a tribute to the strength, resilience and power of women, and a rallying cry for urgent and fundamental change.
