A 64yr old widowed Egyptian woman, Abu
Daooh (yeah, that’s a woman pictured
above) has been honored by a Local
government in Egypt with the ‘woman
breadwinner’ award after it was discovered
she disguised as a man for 43 years so she
could operate as a shoemaker and fend for
her family.
Daooh lost her husband 43 years ago while
she was pregnant with her only child, a girl.
She said she decided to disguise because
her community frowned at women who
work. Daooh who wore a “jilbab” and a male
hat known as a “Taqiyah” and black
masculine shoes around, said she decided to
disguise as a man so she could work and
earn a decent living rather than beg on the
streets.
“I preferred working in hard
labor like lifting bricks and
cement bags and cleaning
shoes to begging in the
streets in order to earn a
living for myself and for my
daughter and her children.
So as to protect myself from
men and the harshness of
their looks and being
targeted by them due to
traditions, I decided to be a
man … and dressed in their
clothes and worked
alongside them in other
villages where no one knows
me.”she said
She said she had at some point stopped
working and married off her daughter to a
man but that the man took ill and she had to
continue working so she could fend for her
daughter and grandchildren.

for 43 years, no sex, no relationship, no identity, in fact not even existing, and she didn't do it for herself but for her child, chai! it can only be a mother.

God please all I want is for YOU to bless the child and fulfill the hope of this rare mother in her life.

Na only mothers fit do this kain thing for their children.

cos i barely see motherly traits o.. dem dey collect pass funnel and wouldn't produce much.

#just saying sha

A woman of honour. She is really to b respected

Motherhood is the toughest job in the world.
Her job has no holidays or day offs yet she
doesn’t grumble a thing about it.
Her profession portrays unconditional love,
selflessness and sacrifice.
A single day is not enough to
honor our mothers.

almost moved to tears..now this is the real definition of feminism, unlike some wu prefer to rant continuously about injustice and unfair treatment to women, here is one wu has taken ha destiny into ha hands and has fed nd taken care of ha family in a man's world. Thumbs up ma

Some girls here would have given up their kids for adoption or send them to their mom or ma-inlaw and run away with a boyfriend.


Mother Is Supreme.

A love of a mother is unquantifiable! And Grace shall be given to such selfless mothers... What a daring woman! I love my mother and also love being a mother....
