WOMEN IN HISTORY

In ancient Greece, women were forbidden to study medicine for several years until someone broke the law. Born in 300 BCE, Agnodice cut her hair and entered Alexandria medical school dressed as a man. While walking the streets of Athens after completing her medical education, she heard the cries of a woman in labour. However, the woman did not want Agnodice to touch her although she was in severe pain, because she thought Agnodice was a man. Agnodice proved that she was a woman by removing her clothes without anyone seeing and helped the woman deliver her baby.
The story would soon spread among the women and all the women who were sick began to go to Agnodice. The male doctors grew envious and accused Agnodice, whom they thought was male, of seducing female patients. At her trial, Agnodice, stood before the court and proved that she was a woman but this time, she was sentenced to death for studying medicine and practicing medicine as a woman.
Women revolted at the sentence, especially the wives of the judges who had given the death penalty. Some said that if Agnodice was killed, they would go to their deaths with her. Unable to withstand the pressures of their wives and other women, the judges lifted Agnodice's sentence, and from then on, women were allowed to practice medicine, provided they only looked after women.
Thus, Agnodice made her mark in history as the first Greek female doctor, physician and gynecologist. This plaque depicting Agnodice at work was excavated at Ostia, Italy.

For so many years, women have been fighting for equality among men, fighting for a chance to be heard and become whom God has destined them to be. Some were not as lucky as Agnodice so they were k.i.l.l.e.d just for having the temerity to have the same dream or passion as men.

When I see women making jest of feminism, it irks me because we are all enjoying the sweat, pain, sacrifices and b.l.o.o.d of many women who had gone ahead of us to pave ways and water the green pastures we're enjoying in the world today.

Women who fought so hard in a world of men, they had to rebel against their fathers, brothers and husbands to achieve their age long dream. Imagine what could have happened if they all sat comfortably without speaking or rebeling against the subjugation of women, we won't be enjoying all these luxury we're enjoying today.

Everything women do that you see as normal were absurd to be done by women years back, the ones we speak against today will be enjoyed by our daughters.

The Ndongo Kingdom which Nzinga ruled over was founded by a man who left the Kongo Kingdom. This sort of thing was very common in Africa's history. This is why Africa has a great deal of diversity, but also many cultural similarities as well. In any given region of Africa, one could find numerous different kingdoms or chiefdoms which were comprised of related people who shared a common history and culture.
