Kaya IsesaJah Great African Women of the Past

Great Black Women of the Past By Paliani-Gomani Chinguwo 10/19/04 I now reminisce that were it not for my dire quest for profundity in African studies as part of my extra-curricular knowledge, I would possibly have been very ignorant of the prowess, glory, splendor, greatness, charm, might and valiance displayed by key women of African descent whom I refer to as the "Queens of the Mother Continent."
