How Women Got the Power

Afro Tales Podcast - Un podcast de Amon Mazingo - Les lundis

Why Woman Got the Power is a mythological tale based in the American South. It is a variation of the Adam and Eve story complete with god, the devil, and his slyness. This story takes you on a journey about how man and woman started off on equal footing and changed because of one person's thirst for power and control. You will see what happens when one person thinks they can control the other and how it is rectified through cunning and intellect. What people believe about the Adam and Eve story may soon change in this tale. Aswell, James R., et al. God Bless the Devil: Liars' Bench Tales.
