In her quest to entrench gender parity across all sectors and touchpoints, she wrote her first book titled ‘Ichabod: Daughters Who Did Not Inherit Their Mothers’ Silence’.
Through the book, she staunchly advocated for an absolute right of choice and self-determination for women and girls without being subjected to societal validations and approval. She made an applaudable argument for women noting that they are the core of every society and relationship as they bear the burden of sustenance, thus, it is appalling to see sexism place women in the background, the very gender that upholds the existence of humanity.
The book: ‘Ichabod’, is considered one of the most powerful self-help books for women in this century as it intrinsically interrogated the silence culture and its generational effects on women. More so, Ogochukwu Eloike provided practicable insights to women on how to deal with both existing and emerging gender issues that are designed to displace them emotionally, spiritually, and physically.
