PIONEER OF AFRICAN WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT

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 commitment, she mobilized women and defended their place 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 connects the struggle for independence with the struggle for the emancipation of women. In her autobiography Femme d’Afrique, published in 1975, she recounts this experience. Having died in Bamako in 1980, she leaves a legacy of determination and collective commitment. Through this creation by Afi Kodjobi Tchoukpa, United Souls pays tribute to her memory.
