You might think you know your queens, but what about Queen Nzinga of Ndongo and Matamba and her brilliant military tactics? Maybe Makobo Modjadji VI, Rain Queen of Balobedu? Or Ranavalona I, Queen of Madagascar (and ruthless dictator)? Join When We Ruled author Paula Akpan as she shares the gripping stories of twelve African queens and warriors. Some were brave and noble, others unpredictable and volatile, but all shaped the African continent - so why don't we all know their names? Chaired by Carmen Thompson.
