Riwaya hii inahusu unyanyasaji wa kijinsia, ndoa za utotoni, na ukatili katika jamii ya Kiafrika. Inaelezea kwa undani namna changamoto hizi zinavyoathiri maisha ya wasichana na wanawake. Mhusika mkuu ambaye ni msichana mdogo, anakabiliana na maisha ya dhuluma, ukosefu wa haki, na shinikizo la kuolewa akiwa bado mtoto, hali inayozuia maendeleo yake ya kielimu na ndoto zake. Katika riwaya hii, mhusika mkuu anaonyeshwa akikumbana na unyanyasaji wa kijinsia kutoka kwa wanaume wakubwa au hata watu wa karibu katika jamii, hali inayomuacha na makovu ya kimwili na kiakili. Pia, jamii inaonekana kushindwa kumsapoti, huku sheria na haki zikionekana kutotenda haki kwa wanawake na wasichana wanaokandamizwa. Riwaya hii inabainisha changamoto wanazopitia wasichana wanaolazimishwa kuolewa wakiwa watoto, mara nyingi kutokana na umaskini au mila potofu zinazoendelezwa kizazi baada ya kizazi. Athari za ndoa hizi zinaonekana katika afya yao, elimu, na uwezo wa kujikomboa kiuchumi na kiakili.

This book is really from tales concerning thousands of working women that I summed up into the antics of six twenty-something gals and a mid-thirty thirty cop''s wife. They worked in a gigantic airplane factory during the 1970''s and 80''s under the leadership of a wise, down-home black Southern woman... and oh, the trials of watching over that misfit team! The story is about adventure, romance, sexual harassment, addiction, intrigue and the attempted murder of a colleague while these women worked together in sisterhood in a "man''s world." (And who is the preacher, the lesbian or of royal blood?) You''ll find laugh-out-loud humor along with some heart-wrenching times while these women try to find who''s sabotaging their airplanes. Could it be the inspector, a disgruntled worker or maybe their own supervisor? But it''s a paycheck anything to get that damned plane built...well, almost anything. This story comes from actual events that occurred during my many years as a factory worker plus happenings while my mother worked at the same Boeing Airplane Company during World War II. And yep--she was a riveter! "(Lady) Jane drew off not just her personal experience at Boeing, but her mom, one of the ''Rosie the Riveters'' who forged the way to be accepted into a "man''s" work place." C. Kelliher, editor; Aero Mechanic District 751 newspaper, read by aerospace workers world wide. "Sharp, funny, tragic and fun. A great read; romance and scandal, espionage and sabotage-- everything a good historical fiction novel should have. The writer has a sharp wit and a keen sense of sarcasm." Christopher Bailey, author of the Starjumper Legacy. "Women''s fiction? It''s more like real life! Believe me, and the author, this is exactly what goes on behind the scenes in the real world of factory workers. From hilarious one-line humor to heart wrench tear-jerking to, this was a great emotional ride." J. Carol Johnson, author of The Lonely Life of a Pornographer''s Wife. What a funny, exciting, heart-wrenching story! I never really knew what went on with the women who did this kind of work. The author really helped me understand how hard-working those women were, how their lives were turned upside down and yet they fought their way through the back-breaking labor, the bigotry, and the sexist attitudes to succeed in an industry that, until then, had been dominated by men. Their lives, indeed the working world, would never be the same...and I, for one am grateful! Thanks for an entertaining and educational look into an important part of our American history! F. Hornsby, literary editor

What is it like for a woman to do a man''s work, and do it better? Then have to work with him day in and day out. Or to have to go home to a husband who asks how her day went. Does she mention anything about the supervisor who patted her rear end or the inspector who wants to inspect more than her work? Moreover, she works in a factory so immense that she''s never met everyone. But she knows someone is trying to destroy what she''s building. It may just be the person working next to her, or the supervisor or inspector... or her best friend. What is the chance that you are this woman? In Pink Collar Workers, you may meet a woman who does the same work as you. You can just hear yourself saying, "Tomorrow is payday. Another day of trying to please the supervisor, ignoring a married man''s lusty grin and tolerating that know-it-all worker." But it''s a paycheck and anything to get that damned plane built...well, almost anything.

The British Columbia Inter-agency Non-timber Forest Resources (IANTFR) Committee was established in January 2006 to facilitate a co-ordinated approach to non-timber forest resource management in the province. The Ministry of Forests and Range and Ministry of Agriculture and Lands co-chair the IANTFR Committee. Other government partners include or have included what are now the Ministry of Small Business, Technology and Economic Development, the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, and the Ministry of Community and Rural Development (names of some Ministries have changed since 2006). Representatives from the First Nations Forestry Council and the First Nations Mountain Pine Beetle Initiative have participated in committee meetings. The Centre for Livelihoods and Ecology (formerly the Centre for Non-Timber Resources) at Royal Roads University provides expert advice and support services to the Committee. The Ministry of Forests and Range also contributes to the Committee by providing staff time and expertise, and resources to produce publications. The goals of the Committee are (1) to improve communication and co-ordination across the provincial government, and (2) to advise government on issues related to non-timber forest resource management in British Columbia. The IANTFR Committee members have produced a communication strategy that includes the production of publications designed to improve awareness about non-timber forest resources so that they are managed appropriately.
