The Woman Who Poked The Leopard offers an existentialist view of heroic Stella's most personal life, full of loss, as well as a political view of the brutality of the Museveni government. The story navigates through Stella's disrobing at Makerere University and in court, her poem against the dictator and subsequent imprisonment, her failed Parliamentary campaign through the neighborhoods of Kampala after she is released from prison, the brutality of armed state actors toward her and her family, and her eventual exile to München. It is an emotive character-led story that paints a picture of a universal and often-contradictory aspect of humanity — being a parent.
