Tharwa's great grandmother and maternal grandfather
Though Omni Rebh never went to school, she was a savvy businesswoman and excellent negotiator. My mother usually accompanied her to the “souk” and witnessed the negotiations that took place between her grandmother and the other merchants. “I remember watching Ommi Rebh doing business and making deals with other merchants,” my mother told me. “While doing it, she was the strongest, most confident, and smartest woman I’ve ever seen.
At harvest times, my great-grandmother usually hired men and women and paid them equally for performing work of equal value. She was their leader — she distributed tasks and managed the time it took to complete them. Later, she married a younger man with whom she had two sons — my grandfather and his brother. Having kids in her late thirties was atypical in a culture in which women generally have kids at around 18 or 19 years old. So was her choice to have only two children, whereas people at the time had five kids on average. She also remained sexually active, till her mid-seventies, which is considered a sign of open-mindedness.
