The origins of the name are in the often heated national debates on political, economic, and rights-related issues where elite self-interest often\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etakes precedence. Aligned with economic thinking from western schools of thought, the elite often acts without much attention to Wanjiku's daily challenges of survival or completely ignores her well-developed modes of survival as a demonstration of a sound system worth paying attention to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn Wanjiku in Global Development: Everyday Ordinary Women Livelihood Economy in Kenya\u003c\/strong\u003e, Kinyanjui captures Wanjiku's systematic approach to day-to-day activities that undergirded participants' and society's common good.

In the true spirit of \u003cem\u003eUbuntu\u003c\/em\u003e, market women (Wanjiku) operate within a set of unwritten rules that assure optimization of collective good from interacting among themselves and with others.
