informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

4.0

A manifesto, a powerful & insightful book by a revolutionary leader of Burkina Faso whose vision remains an inspiring model for integrating women’s right into the broader struggle for freedom & equality.

In his speech delivered to several thousand women on International Women’s Day, March 8, 1987, Thomas Sankara reiterated that the liberation of women is inextricably linked to the overall liberation of Africa. Which means that Women’s freedom needs to be at the forefront & this can only be achieved when there is full participation of women in all aspects of society, political, social & economic.

Truly, a leader who was years ahead of his time & whose work we still need to continue
