An annotated English translation of Akinwumi Isola's trailblazing dramas of two prominent nineteenth century Iyalode during the 70 years of Yoruba warring that threatened the political stability of many African states. Besides warriors and other important historical male figures, the change agents include a number of women who have been written out of history but whose trajectory did not stop with the 19th century. In capturing the stories of these two Iyalode, Isola speaks on behalf of the collective who make up the vast list of distinguished women in African history.Index, notes, introductory essay, 251pp, USA.
