There is very little about the history of African women. The monographs or edited work that exists typically cover only modern Africa and/or focuses only on Sub-Saharan Africa. Sweetman provides a series of biographical sketches of women leaders in Africa ancient times to the modern times, and covering the continent, including queens like Hapchetsut, Amina, and Nzinga. In addition, he covers women, who lead resistant and social movements. This work is valuable, but unfortunately is out-of-print.
