Dedicated last May 15 in Yaoundé, Loveline Kamaha’s book presents itself as a plea in favor of women, between the quest for identity, resilience, and inner healing.
A nurse specialized in research and a committed figure in social leadership, Loveline Kamaha signs an 80-page book that offers an unflinching diagnosis of the condition of women. For her, being a woman has too often meant “struggle”.

Through eight chapters, the author points to a contemporary societal phenomenon, the tendency to want to transform women into “little men” in the name of performance. Her book also proposes a return to the roots, affirming that women possess intrinsic value, a high cognitive and emotional potential that does not require mimicking male models to assert themselves. “To struggle to exist, to be heard, but above all to find one’s place without losing oneself”, she explains.
Loveline Kamaha argues that the trials experienced in the secrecy of a home are often the common lot of all women. “A woman’s success in her personal battles becomes a ‘key’ for others.” Eight biblical models have been cited by the writer, from Ruth to Abigail, including Jael, Priscilla, or the Samaritan woman.

Present at the signing ceremony, literary critic Christelle Seyi describes the book as a true therapy, a journey that leads from silent suffering to healing. By revisiting the historical evolutions from voting rights to professional struggles, the author allows readers to place themselves in the great lineage of those who have shaped the world. “You cannot read this book without undergoing a transformation inside yourself”, she declares.
