Celebrating Powerful Seereses, Resistance Leaders & Shamaness’s for Women’s History Month
In honor of Women’s History Month, we are celebrating some of the Herstorical Figures who shaped history, but don’t often get mentioned…
In part 2 we meet Toypurina, medicine woman of the Tongva nation & one of the leaders of a rebellion against a Spanish mission in 1785, Cecile Fatiman, a Haitian vodooo priestess born in the 18th century who led a ceremony that helped ignite the Haitian revolution, Dahia al-Kahina (“the priestess”) led Berber resistance to the Arab conquest of North Africa, and Granuaile Ní Mhaille (Grainne O’ Mailley) surmounted a monopoly of military and seafaring enterprise to become the uncrowned “She-King” of the Connemara coast of Ireland, and the scourge of the British Navy in the 1500s.
