Description:

Ignored in Western history, the seventeenth-century African queen Njinga was one of the most extraordinary rulers of the past. In an era dominated by men, she shattered gender roles through her political skill and military agility. After her rule was threatened in 1626 by the Portuguese, she transformed herself into a fierce slave trader and waged endless war against the colonizers.
