Beschreibung

Women Leaders addresses the historical oversight of women's contributions in African leadership. By exploring the lives of female figures who defied societal norms, the book highlights their crucial roles in shaping African history and politics. Readers will discover how these women led armies, influenced political landscapes, and left lasting impacts on their societies. For example, Queen Nzinga resisted Portuguese colonization, while Amina of Zazzau expanded her kingdom through military conquest. Understanding the full spectrum of leadership, including women's contributions, offers a more complete picture of African history. This book adopts a narrative non-fiction style to present historical information in an accessible and engaging manner.

 
Beginning with pre-colonial Africa and figures like Queen Nzinga, the book progresses to examine the impact of colonialism on women's leadership and then explores the challenges and opportunities in post-colonial Africa. It draws from diverse sources, including oral histories and archival documents, to provide a comprehensive analysis. By connecting to gender studies, political science, and African studies, Women Leaders challenges traditional narratives and promotes a more inclusive understanding of African history.

    "4 out of 5 Stars. Engrossing and earnest, On to the Next Thing is an insightful and positive journey through an empowering personal philosophy." - Brenna O'Hara, Reedsy Discovery 
    Entertaining true crime meets an encouraging spiritual awakening. 
    Having the right mix of encouragement and entertainment, Corbin Bosiljevac's memoir gets to the heart of an extraordinary story told by an ordinary man. When questionable choices, addiction, and mental health consume his existence, the yearning for something larger becomes imperative. 
    This is a true story about a man's struggles through a time in his life when choices led him astray. From college graduate and Fortune 1000 salesman, to black-market drug dealing, crime emerged as an every day event. Illicit drugs and illegal commerce became profitable and daunting, while the danger of these activities began to creep closer by the hour. 
    With federal prison as the catalyst, there was a chance that he would not recover. Being a fearful time, the crippling anxiety overshadowed any hope that he had left. But his life was rebuilt with a new foundation. These changes did not come easily or quickly, but anything worthwhile never does. This is truly a story of redemption. 
    "On to the Next Thing" is an exceptional read about not giving up on life no matter how far you have fallen. Our individual journeys do not necessarily unfold as we have planned, but it is our experiences that shape our time. These experiences during this time are his story.

    Amelia Ann Blanford Edwards was born on 7th June 1831 in Islington, London.  She was educated at home by her mother and showed early promise as a writer, publishing her first poem at the age of 7 and her first story at 12.  Thereafter several popular periodicals published her poetry, stories and articles. 
    In addition she also illustrated some of her own writings and painted scenes from books she had read.  This talent was not supported by her parents, who saw an artist’s life as scandalous.  Undeterred Amelia took up composing and performing music until a bout of typhus caused throat damage.  Other interests soon followed until, early in the 1850s, Amelia focused exclusively on writing.  Her early novels were well received, and with ‘Barbara's History’ in 1864, a work revolving around bigamy, her reputation was established.  
    Amelia’s pen was also the purveyor of ghost stories for magazines and are still anthologized as classic tales to this day. 
    In January 1851, Amelia became engaged, apparently to please her parents, but she quickly broke it off.  In reality her emotional attachments were almost exclusively with women.  From the early 1860s she lived with Ellen Drew Braysher, a widow 27 years her senior, until both women died in early 1892.  During this relationship other women also entered and left her life.  Her frequent travelling companion, Lucy Renshaw, accompanied her to Egypt in the winter of 1873 and there she found a life-changing interest in Egyptology.  Aware of increasing threats from tourism and modern development she became an advocate for their research and preservation.  
    To advance the work Amelia largely abandoned much of her writing in favour of Egyptology and even took on strenuous lecture tours to raise funds. 
    After catching influenza, Amelia Edwards, ‘the Godmother of Egyptology’ died on 15th April 1892 at Weston-super-Mare.  She was 60.
