Abstract

This study explores the role of Pan-Negro women in the struggle for the liberation of Africa from 1900 to 1962. It examines the contributions of women like Amy Ashwood Garvey, Claudia Jones Miriam Makeba and others to the Pan-Negro movement and the decolonization effort. The study also highlights the challenges and obstacles faced by female activists, and how they navigated these challenges. Ultimately, the study argues that Pan-Negro women were a vital part of the movement for independence and self-determination in Africa, and their story is an important reminder of the power of activism and the need for gender equality, both in Africa and around the world.
