In this week’s discussion post we are to discuss what the female characters in the book “Cutting for Stone” and the women who come to Missing seeking medical treatment reveal about what life is like for women in Ethiopia. The time period was the 1940’s through the 1970’s in Ethiopia. Womens rights were not what they are today in America, especially in Ethiopia. The author portrays the women as attached to men. The women are held to stricter standards than the men during this time period.
Rosina is a maid for Hema and her family. She has a secret affair with a married man and has a child by him that he he cannot recognize. The daughters name is Genet. Genets biological father is killed, and her mother cuts her daughters face to show mourning. Genet loses her virginity and her mother has her circumcised and she gets and infection that nearly takes her life. She breaks Marion’s heart by sleeping with his brother and he later in life rapes her. She gives Marion Hep B, he survives and she dies. This is her punishment.

The staff (who are her co-workers and friends) stumble during the situation and ultimately, she dies during birth. This type of pregnancy can be very dangerous in any community. Prenatal care would have detected the situation early into the pregnancy. Even if no one knew of the pregnancy, in modern time in my community she would have received greater odds of survival. Being rushed to a hospital that is well staffed and with modern technology she most likely would have survived the birth of her conjoined twins.
