There are women who ruled vast swathes of the African continent. They led, loved, and fought for their kingdoms and people, and their impact can still be felt today. However, beyond the lands they called home, so few of us have heard their names.
From pre-colonial Nigeria to the rich plains of Rwanda, from the hills of Madagascar to apartheid South Africa, historian Akpan traces the lives of these powerful queens and takes you on a spellbinding, enrapturing, and immersive journey that is nothing short of revelatory.
Beautifully researched and filled with fascinating stories of royalty, ancient civilizations, conquest, and colonization, When We Ruled is a gripping new history where women take center stage.
