African Women's Day

Today is African Women’s Day 🤎
African women have had pivotal leadership roles in political and economic sectors without receiving critical acclaim since forever.

“In Africa..., the woman’s ‘place’ was not only with her family; she often ruled nations with unquestionable authority. Many African women were great militarists, and on occasion led their armies in battle. The Africans had produced a civilisation where men were secure enough to let women advance as far as their talent, royal lineage and prerogatives would take them.”
— Dr John Henrik Clarke
