Women’s History Month
Women’s History Month was established by Congress in 1987 to celebrate the achievements of women in American history. Each day this month, we will recognize women from America and other parts of the world who have made important contributions to humanity.
Queen Nzinga
Queen Nzinga (1583-1663) was the ruler of Ndongo and Matamba who fought against Portuguese encroachment in the region. Initially, she attempted to ally with the Portuguese, establishing Ndongo as a middleman (rather than supplier) in the slave trade, but that relationship quickly soured. Nzinga spent the next three-plus decades leading a militant resistance against Portuguese domination, often dressing as a male warrior when she led her troops into battle. She created a powerful kingdom, but she was unable to fully defeat the Portugese and, after her death, Angola became the first European colony in sub-Saharan Africa. Though her relationship to the slave trade is complicated, Queen Nzinga is celebrated today in Angola as an anticolonial warrior and a role model for women in a male-dominated society.
