Muslim Women Association of Bamenda

Here are a couple of pics of some of the women I have been interviewing for my project. The first pic on the left is of Hawa Mohamed, who is supposedly 120 years old. She is the daughter of the first Sarkin Hausawa (Hausa chief) in Bamenda-Abakwa who came here just after the First World War. And she has had--count 'em--5 husbands!! Outliving them all! The other pic is of all the women I met during the first interview with the association, which happened the day after Christmas.
