About this listen

They told us Africa was a land without queens, without power, without history.

They were wrong.

This powerful book uncovers the untold stories of 30 extraordinary African queens and heroines whose courage, wisdom, and resistance shook empires and shaped nations. From warrior leaders who stood against colonial invasion to visionary rulers who built thriving kingdoms, these women are the forgotten architects of history.

Inside, you will discover:

  • The fearless Yaa Asantewaa of Ghana, who led her people in the War of the Golden Stool.
  • Queen Amina of Nigeria, the Conqueror Queen who expanded her empire with unmatched brilliance.
  • Kandake Amanirenas of Nubia, the one-eyed queen who defied Rome itself.
  • Ranavalona I of Madagascar, the “Iron Queen” who preserved her nation’s independence against foreign powers.
  • Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth, whose unshakable courage freed and inspired generations.

And so many more....

More than a history book, Queens of Africa is a reclaiming of legacy — proof that Africa has always been a land of resilience, brilliance, and unbreakable spirit. Whether you are a student of history, a seeker of inspiration, or someone who longs to connect with the power of Africa’s past, this book is for you.

Why this book matters:

  • It restores erased voices and silenced stories.
  • It inspires women and men today with timeless lessons of leadership and defiance.
  • It connects Africa’s past with its present, showing that the spirit of resistance and vision still lives on.

Step into the forgotten palaces, deserts, and battlefields where these women made history. Their stories will inspire you, move you, and remind you that Africa’s heartbeat has always been strong.

Queens of Africa is not just a book—it is a tribute, a remembrance, and a rallying cry to honor the daughters of Africa who defied empires and shaped history.
