Women face many challenges right from birth.Biased traditions make her life even worse. However despite all the challenges,she still tears herself from so much to succeed.This has been proved by Margaret Ogola in her novel 'The River and the Source'

Despite mockery and peer influence,the woman can still succeed in education.As Awiti goes through the white man's education,not only does she watch most of her classmates drop out of school to get married but also has to endure a lot of mockery from her fellow villages.The villagers wonder how a girl can be so clever .They opine that she should be ashamed of herself or at least try to hide her brilliance;otherwise no man will marry her. Awiti,however,does not get distracted by such jibes.She continues to work so hard that when they sit the final examination,she emerges the best of the eleven who sit the exam.She goes ahead to join a teacher training college from which she qualifies as a teacher.This clearly proves that despite challenges,the woman can still succeed.

Secondly,despite having to raise her children single handedly,the woman can still succeed in making them successful. Wandia 's family had a hard start in life.Her mother is widowed when her children are still young and in school.However,this challenge does not cripple Wandia's mother.She works very hard on her five acre plot of land to provide basic needs for the children and above all,educate them.She succeeds in making her children a success. Wandia is a doctor,her eldest brother owns a company and the rest are also doing fine in life.This means that despite the challenges that may face a woman,she can still succeed in what she wishes to achieve.

Furthermore,despite having to endure insults and jibes from in-laws, a woman can still do well in what she plans to. Akoko perseveres a lot from her in-laws.Her mother and brother in law, Otieno,are so so uncomfortable especially due to the fact that she reproduces at a very slow rate .They think that she should give birth to as many children as thirty head of cattle paid for her dowry.Her mother in law even goes ahead to accuse her of witchcraft.

In addition,a woman is traditionally charged with the responsibility of taking care of her family.Despite this challenging responsibility,however the woman can still achieve her goal. Wandia has six children as well as Becky's two children.

In conclusion above prove that despite the numerous challenges a woman has to contend with,she can still become successful as long as she is determined and hardworking.
