ADDIS
ABEBA(July 15,2008) - The
Ethiopian Media Women Association (EWMA) said on Monday it prepared
a new book which deals with women in leadership.
The book entitled "Candace" aimed to enforce the roles and
positions of Ethiopian women leaders, EMWA said in a statement sent
to The Daly Monitor a day ahead of the book's official launch on Tuesday,
July 15, 2008.
The association said Candace was initiated with the view of recording
the history, challenges, and achievements of Ethiopian women inside
different walks of life beginning from the 20th century.
Written by Alem Desta, an Ethiopian residing in the Netherlands, the
book portrays 20 women who have played and are playing vital roles
within their communities and their Ethiopian nation as a whole posing
tales from the earlier Zemene Mesafint times through the Emperors'
and Mengistu Hailemariam's regimes to the present, it added.
EMWA said the book was prepared in association with Stitching Ethiopian
Millennium (SEM), a Dutch organization, in collaboration with National
Organization for women (NOW)
