Ready to dive headfirst into African history? Join us this October as we discuss When We Ruled: The Rise and Fall of Twelve African Queens and Warriors by Paula Akpan. Watch bloody (pre-)colonial history unfold with Victoria and Katherine as they admire Apkan’s deft handling of complicated women, become overly invested in Madagascar’s 19th C isolationism, and deepen their understanding of African women’s political power.
