These three women epitomize the women of Rwanda, past and present, who stylishly wrap themselves in kitenge , the brightly colored cotton fabric of East Africa. They wear elaborate head scarves of the same fabric and often swaddle their infants in them as well. Kitenge fabric is made by drawing a succession of patterns in hot wax and dying them different colors at each stage, a technique commonly known as batik.
