She was born in the year 1900 and died in the year1978. She was a leading activist during Nigerian women’s anti-colonial struggles. She founded the Abeokuta Women’s Union, one of the most impressive women’s organizations of the twentieth century which fought to protect and further the rights of women. She was the mother of the legendary musician "Fela Anikulapo Kuti" who was also an activist before his death. This tells us that she taught her children the right thing to do for the society.

Some African society (and this applies in varying degrees to all race groups) are conventionally patriarchal. In other words, it was the men who had authority in society; women were seen as subordinate to men. Women's role was primarily a domestic one; it included child rearing and seeing to the well-being, feeding and care of the family. They were not expected to concern themselves with matters outside the home – that was more properly the domain of men. Economic activity beyond the home (in order to help feed and clothe the family) was acceptable, but not considered ‘feminine'. However, with the rise of the industrial economy, the growth of towns and (certainly in the case of indigenous societies) the development of the migrant labour system, these prescriptions on the role of women and these women such as Bella Guerin (1858–1923) – first woman to graduate from an Australian university, Guerin was a socialist feminist prominent,
Jessie Street (1889–1970) – Australian suffragette, feminist and human rights campaigner influential in labour rights,
Marguerite Coppin (1867–1931) – female Poet Laureate of Belgium and advocate of women's rights,
Sunitha Krishnan (born 1972) – Indian social activist, co-founder of Prajwala , to assist trafficked women, girls and transgender people in finding shelter, education and employment,
Helen of Anjou (1236–1314) – queen, feminist, establisher of women schools,
Lesley Abdela (1945- ) is a women’s rights campaigner, gender consultant and journalist who has worked for women’s representation in over 40 countries including post-conflict countries. These are examples of strong women and great feminist and activist who are trurly woman.

Happy women's Day to all women around the world.
