Appropriating this quote, Malebo boldly renounces societal expectations placed on her as a black woman and shares her journey towards misbehaviour. According to Malebo, it is the norm for a black woman to live in a society that prescribes what it means to be a well-behaved woman. Acting like this prescribed woman equals good behaviour. But what happens when a black woman decides to live her own life and becomes her own form of who she wants to be? She is often seen as misbehaving. Miss behave challenges society's deep-seated beliefs about what it means to be an obedient woman. In this book, Malebo tracks her journey on a path towards achieving total autonomy and self-determinism. Miss-Behave will challenge, rattle and occasionally cause you to scream 'yassss, yassss, yassss; at various intervals. - page 4 of cover. 650 0 $a Women, Black $z South Africa $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Women, Black $z South Africa $x Psychology. 650 0 $a Self-culture. 650 0 $a Autonomy (Psychology) 650 0 $a Self-actualization (Psychology) 650 0 $a Feminism. 650 7 $a Autonomy (Psychology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00824168 650 7 $a Feminism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922671 650 7 $a Self-actualization (Psychology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01111481 650 7 $a Self-culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01111560 650 7 $a Women, Black $x Psychology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178931 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710095718.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=912815FAE7B011E78369235E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
