Celebrating bolanle awe the matriarch of feminist history

I think there may be some confusion here. Bolanle Awe is a Nigerian historian and academic, but she is not typically referred to as the "matriarch of feminist history." While she has made significant contributions to the field of history, particularly in the area of African women's history, the term "matriarch" typically refers to a woman who is the founder or leader of a family or organization.

However, Bolanle Awe is indeed a pioneering figure in the field of African women's history and has made significant contributions to the study of women's roles in African societies. She was one of the first African women to earn a Ph.D. in history and has written extensively on the history of women in Africa, including her own book "Women and Slavery in Africa".

Awe's work has helped to challenge traditional narratives about African women's roles and has highlighted their agency and contributions to African societies. She has also been recognized for her advocacy work on behalf of women's rights and has received numerous awards and honors for her contributions to the field of history.
