Notable Contributions

Long before the word "feminist" existed, Queen Nzinga was living it. Born around 1583 into the royal family of Ndongo (present-day Angola), she became queen after her brother's death and spent over 30 years leading guerrilla warfare against Portuguese colonial forces, personally commanding armies well into her 60s. She offered sanctuary to runaway slaves, formed alliances with the Dutch against Portuguese expansion.

Honors/Awards

Featured on Angolan currency (20 Kwanza coin, 2014); streets and schools named in her honour across Angola
