I am so grateful to have followed the engagement challenge till this very moment despite my tight schedule all these while. This week the engagement challenge is titled "What is a woman?" So let's go there. |

1.What does the word "Woman" mean to you?

| |---------------------------------| The word woman means to me that, A woman is also a female person who is vulnerable and compassionate towards keeping her home and everyone around her happy This means that you are not a woman even if you are a female until you get to adulthood. I think this is a clear definition of the word woman also. A woman is also a female adult ![IMG_20220407_174655_5_1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfAeXB2xo1YXsnipLWqapTF7KF98JAj2X8bthaT8jxGy6/IMG_20220407_174655_5_1.jpg) **This picture was taken from my personal album** In another definition a woman is a female who has reached the stage of adolescents and is capable of handling a few things like managing a home, a business, a company or even advising others. When you see a female who is an adult and can be able to carry out the things mentioned above then that person is a woman. |

2.Do you think that women are born only to be housewives?

| |---------------------------------| No, I don't think that because, 35% of women in my country, Nigeria, are not housewives alone but working class women who don't depend on their families or husbands before getting what they want in life, We also have many women in different countries holding top positions in the world today, Many are also Managing Directors in some big companies, reverend sisters, ministers of God, prophetesses, and so on. Women are not born only to be housewives because over the years we have seen that women also do well in other parts of their lives aside from the kitchen. We have also seen women going to school and doing better than most men today in different fields So also with that, you will agree with me that women are not just born to be housewives but they have shown great contributions to society and the world at large. |

3. What is the role of a woman in your society?

| |---------------------------------| In my society, the role of women in the family is to perform the entire responsibility of childbirth and much of child raising. During this developmental time, her interaction with the child develops his behavior pattern. She is also the child's first teacher. Another role of a woman in my society is that, The woman is a man's helpmate, partner, and comrade. So in essence, the women in my area are very hardworking and they try to ensure they provide for their families and also support their husbands in the best way they can. Most of them went into farming whereas others went into business just to meet basic needs. |

4. Who are the most important women in your life? You can tell us about your wife, your mother, your aunt, your niece, your girlfriend, or even your sister-in-law

| |---------------------------------| The most important woman in my life is my girlfriend for now because the woman that gives birth to me is late, So she has always been there for me from day one till date. **Conclusion** So, a woman is a female who has reached the stage of adolescents and is capable of handling a few things like managing a home, a business, a company or even advising others. We also have different women in our lives such as our girlfriend's mothers, sisters, etc. It is important to state here that the duty of women is not just as housewives but also as contributors to society as a whole. I want to invite my friends @patjewell @preye2 and @simonnwigwe to also join this contest today. **My regards**
