Female Power
About This Novel
In 1999, "Miracle Doctor" Mukwege founded Panzi Hospital. Over the past 20 years, he has treated more than 50,000 women who suffered sexual violence at this hospital. Some of them were raped in front of their own families, and some were taken into the jungle and used as sex slaves. They suffered great physical and mental harm, were isolated and stigmatized, but they still relied on their strong resilience to survive in this extremely misogynistic country. In this reflective and shocking book, Dr. Mukwege tells the stories of these women. Each of them is a ray of light that pierces the mask of false masculinity. At the same time, it was this kind of female power that supported him through the turbulent two Congo wars. Even though he suffered six assassinations, he still insisted on helping these women.
