In "Tomorrow I Become a Woman" by Aiwanose Odafen, we follow the journey of Ezi, a young Nigerian woman caught between tradition and her own aspirations. From a young age, Ezi was taught that her worth was tied to her future role as a wife and mother. The weight of societal expectations bore heavily on her, dictating her every move.

As she grew older, Ezi faced immense pressure to conform. Her journey was fraught with challenges, from an arranged marriage to battling for her own voice in a patriarchal society. However, through her struggles, she discovered the strength to pursue her dreams and advocate for herself.

The novel teaches us that true womanhood is not defined by societal norms but by the courage to live authentically. Ezi’s story is a powerful reminder that self-acceptance and resilience are key to overcoming adversity. No matter the obstacles, one can carve out their own path and redefine what it means to be a woman and a good read.
