PIONEER OF AFRICAN WOMEN'S EMANCIPATION

AOUA KEÏTA (1912-1980) - MALI

Born in Bamako in 1912, Aoua Keïta was a midwife, trade unionist, and anti-colonial activist. Through her work and political engagement, she mobilized women and defended their role in public life. An activist for the Sudanese Union – African Democratic Rally (US-RDA), she became the first woman elected as a member of parliament in her country in 1959. Her journey links the struggle for independence with the fight for women's emancipation. In her autobiography Femme d’Afrique, published in 1975, she recounts this experience. Having passed away in Bamako in 1980, she leaves behind a legacy of determination and collective commitment. Through this creation by Afi Kodjobi Tchoukpa, United Souls pays tribute to her memory.
