Oromtitti: The Forgotten Women in Ethiopian History

Belletech Deressa’s "Oromtitti: The Forgotten Women In Ethiopian History" is simultaneously a dedication to, and a cultural examination of, the women who helped shape the history of a nation. Deressa’s discussion of the roles of Oromo women in the history of Ethiopia echoes with a quiet, yet strong passion for her heritage and homeland. Through examinations of these remarkable women—queens, teachers, martyrs and pioneers—Deressa paints a vivid picture of the women who struggled through their cultural obstacles to become prominent structures within the Oromo society.
