A 24-year-old author Violet Pondakwao has released a second book titled ‘Unmasking a Woman’,aimed at helping men understand the thoughts and desires of women.
In an interview with 247 Malawi News, Pondakwao said the book also seeks to empower women to discover their identity and operate in their purpose.
She said her motivation for writing the book stemmed from the success of her first book titled ‘From a Girl to a Lady’, which was mainly focused on women’s issues.
The young female author said she noticed that many men were interested in understanding women’s thoughts and desires, prompting her to write a book that would cater to both men and women.
She said ‘Unmasking a Woman’ was published in May this year and is available for access through her phone number +265987731252.
Commenting on the writing industry in the country, Pondakwao said the industry is growing, but the rise of technology has led to a decline in interest in reading among some people.
She then emphasized the importance of young people discovering their purpose and understanding their identity as this this can help reduce suicidal cases in the country.
Pondakwao started writing at the age of 13.
With her passion for writing and empowering others, the young female author is making a positive impact in the country’s literary scene.
