Tomorrow I Become A Woman By Aiwanose Odafen
Tomorrow I Become a Woman: A Gripping Tale of Love, Duty, and Defiance
​“What can I do?” she asked. “You can fight,” I thought. “You can fight for your daughters.”
​August 1978. For Obianuju, meeting Gozie feels like a dream. He is everything a “good Igbo girl” is supposed to want: charismatic, handsome, and a devout Christian. He represents the healing of a family scarred by the Civil War.
But in the shadows of her heart remains Akin, a man she loves, but a man her mother will never accept because he belongs to the “wrong” tribe.
​Driven by a desperate need for her mother’s approval and the societal title of “Woman,” Uju says yes to Gozie. She believes that in a new democracy and a booming economy, her marriage will flourish. She is wrong.
