In Praise of Black Women is a magnificent tribute to women in Africa and the African diaspora from the ancient past to the present. Lavishly illustrated, with text written and selected by the celebrated Guadeloupian novelist Simone Schwarz-Bart, this four-volume series celebrates remarkable women who distinguished themselves in their time and shaped the course of culture and history. Volume 1: Ancient African Queens weaves together oral tradition, folk legends and stories, songs and poems, historical accounts, and travelers tales from Egypt to southern Africa, from prehistory to the nineteenth century. These women rulers, warriors, and heroines include Amanirenas, the queen of Kush who battled Roman armies and defeated them at Aswan; Daurama, mother of the seven Hausa kingdoms; Amina Kulibali, founder of the Gabu dynasty in Senegal; Ana de Sousa Nzinga, who resisted the Portuguese conquest of Angola; Beatrice Kimpa Vita, a Kongo prophet burned at the stake by Christian missionaries; Nanda, mother of the famous warrior-king Shaka Zulu; and many others. These extraordinary women's stories, narrated in the style of African oral tradition, are absorbing, informative, and accessible. The abundant illustrations, many of them rare archival images, depict the diversity among Black women and make this volume a unique treasure for every art lover, every school, and every family."

Queen Moremi Ajasoro A Queen with a torch in her hand sacrificed her happiness to safe her people from the terrors of the Ugbos. Queen Moremi was the Queen of Ile Ife who hailed from Offa (city in Kwara State), she was married to the successor of Ile Ife, Oranmiyan. During that time, the Kingdom of Ile Ife was constantly being raided by a Kingdom that the people of Ile Ife considered spirits, the raiders would raid the people and after raiding would disappear deep into the forest without being seen until the day of their next raiding. This continued until Queen Moremi decided to take actions and stop the raiders from enslaving and raiding her people. Queen Abla Pokou A sacrifice must be offered to the river spirits before she and her people can cross the river, but what is she willing to offer and bear the consequences? Queen Abla Pokou was an Akan princess who originated from Kumasi in modern day Ghana. She was born into royalty as her mother was the sister to the famous co-founder and Asantehene, Osei Kofi Tutu I, after the death of Osei Kofi Tutu, Dakon who was the second brother to Queen Abla Pokou and successor to the Ashanti throne was assassinated by Opoku Ware I, he began a succession war and began assassinating anyone who seemed to be a threat to his rule.Knowing that Opoku Ware would eventually come after her and her son, in the night; she gathered her loyal supporters along with her priest and journeyed to the forest where she is faced with problems and challenges. Seh-Dong-Hong-Beh Seh-Dong-Hong-Beh was the leader of the Minos of Benin, at the early age of ten years, she began exhibiting the ability of a warrior, during a contest, she got selected to join the Minos and train as a warrior. Before she became fifteen years old, she was made the leader of the Minos where was given a special room to retire at night, Seh-Dong-Hong-Beh became known in and outside the kingdom as she would go on a quest to conquer neighboring Kingdom. This are just examples of great African warrior women, the ancient African women led most of the successful resistance against their rival Kingdoms and Colonists, they led a strategic military forces to preserve the honor and resources of their territory. Many centuries ago, these warriors played significant roles in the development of their Kingom's Political, Spiritual, Military and Economy, women like Queen Nzinga, Queen Nyabinghi, Sarraounia and many more were believed to possess spiritual powers as some were priestesses, seers, advisors and even oracles. These Queens ruled and reigned as spiritual leaders, for an instance, in Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania, Queen Nyabinghi is a prominent figure in the religious aspects of their beliefs, after her assassination by her cruel husband, some months later, her husband began bedridden and was faced with severe sickness, but her people believed that it was the late Queen who tormented her husband and others who tried to take her territories. Soon a cult began in her name which the worshippers honors her daily. Although her cult was practiced in some African Kingdoms, she was still popular and during mid 18th century, the Colonists declared the worship of Non-Orthodox practices forbidden but many still worshipped her and by late 18th century, her cult had expanded and reached Jamaica where a cult was created with another name but in respect to Nyabinghi. Political & Military Roles During ancient African times, women were voluntarily selected to learn about politics while some were trained in military combats. Examples of great women were; Queen Amina and Queen Nanny of the Maroons played significant roles in ensuring the security of their territories and people.

BADASS AFRICAN QUEENS is a coloring book based on the history of African queens. These are the Queen mothers who played important roles in local governments, social power, and influence in the 19th century. They stood out and worked tirelessly on improving the social welfare of their villages and kingdoms by showing gender equality as well as overseeing issues that involved both men and women together, such as adultery, rape, sodomization, and marital conflicts. The book recognizes Empress Kandake, Queen Nandi, Hatshepsut, Queen Moremi, Amina Mohamud, Queen Makeda, and Lingeer Ndat`e Yalla Mbodj as the best queen mothers of Africa. In Ethiopia, we had Empress Kandake or Candace who was regarded as one of the most dreaded war generals of her time, according to historians, she was a fierce, tactical, and uniting lady who at some point ended up humiliating Alexander the great. This made people know her as the Queen who humiliated Alexander the great. We also had Makeda Queen of Sheba Ethiopia who was also known as the queen of Sheba or "La Reine de Sabah" in French. She was a queen of incredible strength as she survived a battle with the serpent king Awre. The Zulu Kingdom in South Africa had Queen Nandi who was resilient as a mother and a hope against social pressures. She was the mother of Shaka Zulu, one of the Zulu kingdom's greatest kings. According to historians, during the reign of her son, she had significant influence over the affairs of the kingdom this shows how devoted she was to serve her people even. In ancient Egypt, Queen Hatshepsut became pharaoh, the fifth ruler of Dynasty 18. According to Egyptologist James Henry Breasted, she is known to be "the first great woman whose name has survived in history". In the ILE-IFE Kingdom, Nigeria was a courageous queen, Queen Moremi, who is said to have contributed to the deliverance of the Yobra tribe from oppression. We also see Amina Mohamud a Hausa warrior queen of the city-state Zazzau, presently in the Northwest region of Nigeria, is allowed by her grandfather to attend state meetings to gain familiarity with state procedures after discovering her leadership skills early. An act that ended up making Amina a very prominent leader. In Senegal, we see the last great lingeer (queen) Ndat`e Yalla Mbodj of Waalo, a kingdom located in what is now Northwest Senegal. During her reign, she fought against French colonization and the Moorish invasion of her kingdom. In the 19th century, Ndat`e Yalla and her sister Ndjeumbeut Mbodj, stood out as two of the most powerful women of 19th century Senegambiaan dynastic history. This book focuses on empowering, motivating, and encouraging young girls who have dreams of venturing into politics and leadership careers in the future. Empowering these young girls will also act as a gender equality tool as more girls will get motivated to venture into politics, which in the long run will assist boosting the amount of power currently held by women as it has greatly diminished since pre-colonial times.
