There’s no particular universally accepted template of features expected in a great woman. But, there are certain characteristics certain about a great woman; characteristics we can’t assume their greatness. Many articles have come to existence to try explain and reveal who a great woman is.

Some are very realistic while others are just human descriptions of a ‘goddess’ expected out of these lovely people called women; a mirage of attributes; hard to come by.

So, what are the characteristics of a great woman?

Intelligent Intelligence is the mother of all great features that a woman should possess. There’s nothing as promising as a woman who is intelligent. She knows when to seek for advice and give lessons. She knows when to correct and accept being corrected. She’s that woman who your form four son or daughter can run to with English or Kiswahili homework and is sure of being given accurate answers.

Her massive body of knowledge and wisdom is felt the moment she steps in the house. When in trouble, she knows how to call for help; not pushily, but gently. Her joke pieces are well thought, and laughter is what you can afford to have when she notices you are down.

Emotionally stable You can anger her to the brim, but she still collects herself and tells you, “Baby, I know you are mad and am humbly sorry. Kindly have a rest and I will talk to you when we both have calmed down.”

She is that woman who will not run to her nosy and noisy friends to be ‘catalysed’ to light up a fire in your house. She knows her body is her man’s only and won’t ‘toa lock’ with another man when she’s raged. Honestly, this woman is for keeps!

Multiplier You can trust her calculations without room for doubt. She’s that kind of a lady whom you give her money to invest and after a period of time she displays big money documents on your desk; an indicator of productive investment.

She’s unique-as some ladies deduct money from their men through expenses, with her she adds money to your name.  She knows how much a plot goes for both in Karen and Syokimau, and how much it will cost you to build using different materials.

God-fearing Her food for soul is the Bible or Quran. She knows all the teachings of the holy book, and knows how to apply the teachings in her everyday life. This woman has a huge heart; a heart that God would be proud of any time of day. She respects religion and consults widely with religious leaders when she needs divine intervention in an issue. She’s that lady who will pull you to the church or mosque when you push out of the doors. She knows God is supreme, irresistible and irreplaceable.

Romantic One cannot talk of a great woman who knows no romance! All great women are romantic. She knows which buttons to press in you, and there you’ll be turned on like a machine. She knows how to extend this attribute to the kitchen; is aware of when you’d want to eat fish and when you’d want ‘mukimo’.

She loves you passionately and moves every inch of your body in the best of rhythm when she ‘handles’ you. She’s that woman you’d leave your boys and run home to without coercion.

I don’t know what you think of these attributes, but to me; this is a great woman; a woman of substance!
