From Nisa: The Life and Words of a ! Kung Woman by Nisa
From The Norton's Book of Woman's Lives by Phyllis Ross
This passage of Nisa's life was quite eye-opening, as Nisa goes into depth about her culture and experience as a Kung woman. In the beginning, she explains her early life as a child and how she was harshly treated by her mother and father. The quote above shows an example of how different their culture is from ours and how they treated young kids with such severe punishments. Her father even threatened to feed her to hyenas just because he did not agree with her. The suppression faced by Nisa is very inspiring, as she was such a young girl and was thrown into adult life so quickly, which ended up affecting how she gave birth in the future. Having such a hard childhood and growing up in such a unique culture, this passage displays a perfect example of how treatment towards women is different everywhere, and it is important to educate yourself on it.
