PhD student Pascasie Minani has just published a new book ''Les femmes dans l'histoire en Afrique noire''

This book explores the activism of Black African women during the pre-colonial, colonial, and post-colonial periods. Contrary to widespread ideas in contemporary research associating women's activism with globalization, this research emphasizes the fact that, before colonization, Black African women were activists in public sectors perceived as masculine, namely the army and politics.
