A Century of Wisdom: 100 Women of African Descent that Inspire the World
The idea of this book came as a result of the fact that though we talk a lot these days about female founders, political leaders and CEOs, we still don't talk much about women in the light of philosophy and wisdom. This book is an attempt at shifting the paradigm.
Sooner or later, the fact that African women have contributed immensely to broadening the horizon of knowledge will be universally acknowledged.
What you will find in the pages ahead are a testament to the African woman's wisdom. As it is with charity, wisdom begins at home. Therefore, first quote in this book are words I first heard from my mother when I was 13 or so.
My definition of an African woman here is more ancestral than geo-political. In that light, you will find quotes by Rihanna, Michelle Obama and Brigette Hyacinth as you expect to find those of Aisha Buhari, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Nere Teriba
I hope you find this book an interesting addition to your e-library. You might also want to add some of these quotes to those already on the walls of your homes, schools and offices. I will consider this work a success if it succeeds in inspiring at least one human being. And that person could be you!
