(Giving Women the Respect They Deserve) The intended audience for this text includes all men and women literate in ciNsenga, irrespective of their educational background. Written in the dialect of ciNsenga spoken by the Ngoni of Chipata in Zambia and Mchinji in Malawi, the text is based on the premise that women have traditionally been and are still marginalized in society. Its primary aim is to contribute to the cessation of the marginalization of women mainly by men but also by their fellow women, as well as marginalization by women of themselves. The author argues that in many instances the marginalization of women is caused by men's conscious and/or unconscious misinterpretation of various aspects of African culture. The text shows that women in both rural and urban settings have more chores to perform in the family and in society as a whole than men do.
