In a sense, the fate of Rose Lomathinda Chibambo (8 September 1928 to 12 January 2016) is that of the perpetual female outsider, always encroaching into male enclaves, white and black alike. In 1952, she starts organizing women in Zomba, the then capital of Malawi, to protest against the colonial government because the men via the Nyasaland African Congress (NAC, later Malawi Congress Party), including husband Edwin, are not highlighting their plight in the struggle.
