Women in the struggle

On this episode of Lumumba’s Africa, the professor turns the spotlight onto the unsung heroines of the continent’s liberation. Moving beyond the often male-dominated narratives of history, he explores the critical and multifaceted roles women played in the fight against colonialism and oppression. From leading armed resistances and organizing political movements to sustaining families and preserving culture under duress, Professor Lumumba honors the resilience, courage, and contribution of African women in the struggle for freedom and dignity.
