\u201cQueens of Africa and Heroines of the Black Diaspora\u201d published by S\u00e9pia.<\/p>\n

With no black heroine recognized by universal history, Sylvia Serbin has focused on female figures who have marked the history of Africa and its diaspora, from Antiquity to the beginning of the 20th century. Queen Pokou (Ivory Coast), the mulatto Solitude (Guadeloupe), Ranavalona III (Madagascar), Madame Tinubu (Nigeria), the Amazons of Dahomey, Harriet Tubman
\n(United States), the Hottentot Venus (South Africa): in total, twenty-two portraits of influential women, resistance fighters, prophetesses, warriors, victims or mothers of heroes, most of them unknown to the general public.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
