Njinga of Angola
Africa’s Warrior Queen
Linda M. Heywood
Discover the incredible life of Queen Njinga, a seventeenth-century African queen who rivaled Elizabeth I and Catherine the Great in political cunning and military prowess. This first full-length study of Njinga in English by Linda Heywood shows how this Cleopatra of central Africa navigated male-dominated power struggles and transformed herself from a deposed queen to a prolific slave trader and ferocious military leader. At the height of her reign, Njinga ruled almost one-quarter of modern-day northern Angola, but her complex legacy continues to resonate today.
