There were lots of histories on men in Africa but few on African woman. Does that mean that there were no warrior women or women as kings or leaders during ancient days. I guess this was because historians have being less concern to African woman leaders than their male counterpart. According to information gathered from books written by historian such as Sweetman David’s “Woman leaders in African History”, Ivan Sartima’s “Black women in Antiquity” and other helpful wed sites. Many African women such Queen Amina of Nigeria, Candace of Ethiopia, Yaa Ashante of Ghana, Tiye of Kemet [Egypt], Cleopatra of Egypt, Hatshetpsut of Egypt and others ruled their countries and communities respectively. I want to talk about one of these great female rulers from Egypt who was called Hatshetpsut. According to a wed site information [www.bediz.com/ hatshep/story.html]” Hatshepsut was an 18th dynasty pharaoh who was one of the handful of female rulers in Egypt. Her reign was the longest of all the female pharaohs, and her funerary temple still stands as a tribute to her incredible rise of power. Let take a look at her whole biography, and other great things she has done in Egypt as a female King on the body of this story.
