" He had a large barn full of yams and he had three wives" pg. 6
Finding something our society sees as scum favored so highly in Okonkwo's somewhat surprised me. The fact that a man having multiple wives as a sign of wealth is an outrage to the fairer sex. Using women as a sign of wealth is treating them like a possession. So far my impression of this society is not turning out well. This book is so far oppressive to women and I have not finished the first chapter.
