When the possibility of having a female president of SA came to light, it raised a lot of questions amongst the residents of the country, and uncertainty became key. It brought to light a lot of issues that remain unresolved, of which people choose to keep quiet about;- issues such as gender equality, women leadership, and women still seen as inferior in the eyes of the world, compared to men.
Interestingly, I then decided to publish numerous articles about women who have led nations/countries/communities before; to highlight the fact that being led by a woman is nothing new under the Sun. To my surprise, what I thought was common knowledge was something the masses knew nothing about, and were fascinated by these facts I was publishing via Social Media. I guess part of the main reason is that African History is something that is not taught in our schools, and this book is telling African history and stories from an African perspective.
