The Mother of All Invention

Chapter Chapter 3 in The Language of Innovation, 2025, pp 31-44 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In a small village in rural Kenya, a 32-year-old mother of two tends to her vegetable stand, her mind heavy with worry. Her husband works in a distant city, struggling to send money home. Today, she needs to pay her children's school fees, but anxiety grips her. The nearest bank is a full day's journey away – a trip she can't afford to make, as it means losing a day's crucial income.
