The example of income inequality, and Global Issue, on this page is poverty and sexism. Purple Hibiscus- novel written by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

There is an underlying sexism at work in Papa's abuse of family. When the mother tells Kambili she is pregnant, she tells her that she miscarried a few times after Kambili was born. And there's an enormous divide between poor and wealthy, which is tragically obvious in Abba, where most of the people live in poverty while huge mansions sit empty. Purple Hibiscus explores the problems of ethnic tensions and political unrest in Nigeria as parallels for coming of age and defining identity.
