While the author was still a student at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda (1968/69), she realized how important women are, in the society and in the church. After Makerere, she worked for seven years in the Kania la Biblia in Southern Tanzania. While living in Matemanga, she established the church's Women's Ministry, which she continued to lead from Songea and Mbinga. In this book she looks back on her life, work and thinking in those years, based on her diaries and correspondence. This she augments by information on related developments over the last 50 years, which show what women can achieve.
