In the beginning, women ruled- until the day men made them all pregnant and seized the laws and power, or so the Kikuyu myth goes. From that betrayal, centuries of silence were born. In this haunting feminist fable, Enid Ndiga traces how power migrated from the womb to the law, how laughter turned into resistance, and how the ancient season of control never truly ended. Both myth and mirror, Her Body, Their Laws is a story of remembrance - and rebellion. Before they made laws, they made songs, This book also remembers the song- and teaches you the chorus with which to restore balance.
