Women Who Light the Dark

by Paola Gianturco

Powerhouse Books, Brooklyn, New York, 2007        239 pages

A few years ago when Betty asked the Makoni elders for a place to build Girl's Empowerment Village, the men responded, "You are a princess. The mountain is yours." We are looking down on the thatched roofs of huts that cloister girls who are given refuge by the Girl Child Network . . . The country's economy makes life hard for Zimbabweans, especially girls.
