Queen Nzinga of Ndongo and Matamba defied Portuguese invaders for over 30 years. Born in 1583, she led armies, formed alliances, and used brilliant strategy to protect her people from enslavement. Known for her courage and diplomacy, Nzinga turned resistance into a symbol of African power and pride. Her legacy reminds us that African women have always led with strength and purpose.

Queen Nzinga of the Ndongo and Matamba Kingdoms, a scion of the Mbundu people, will spend forty years standing between the Portuguese and their ambitions, using everything at her command -- her cunning, her ruthless intellect, her military acumen, even the bodies of her people -- whatever it takes to succeed.
