Twelve powerful African women from throughout history come to life through engaging true stories and bold illustrations.
All over Africa, women have shaped and ruled glorious civilizations—from Queen Hatshepsut of ancient Egypt, who built great temples and chose trade over war, to Mmanthatisi, the Wild Cat queen of the Basia people, who was small in stature but a clever army commander. Legendary Queen Arawelo of Somalia did everything in her power to make sure that men and women were treated equally in her kingdom, while Sayyida al-Hurra, the wealthy pirate queen, enriched her beloved city of Tétouan in Morocco. Potent leaders, thinkers, warriors, and protectors—each woman left her mark on history, and each empowering story comes alive in this lively and absorbing book, packed with facts and bright illustrations.
