In a society that is full of discriminatory practices against women and the girl child,Nani flowers comes out as a strong defender of the weaker sex.She is the best example for a woman who stands up to fight not only for their rights of the other down trodden women as well.
When Koro is against the naming of Kahu after the ancestors of the clan because this is a man's name ,Nani stands her ground and sees to it that Kahu is named Kahutia after founding father of the Maori community.
She locks the old man out of their matrimonial bedroom and makes sure that he sleeps on the floor.
When she realizes that the old Paka could not attend the prize giving ceremony at Kahu's school that the girl had organized as a dedication to the old man because of her love for him,she decides to attend to give her moral support.
She is in constant criticism of the traditions that conspire to discriminate women in the Maori community when Koro says 'there are the rules' she assents, 'rules are made to be broken.
Nani is a strong character who is not only assertive, but one who fights for the rights of women and the girl child in a male dominated and patriarchal society.
