For far too long, the stories told about Nigerian women have been narrow, predictable, and incomplete.

Society has clung tightly to one image. But history offers a more compelling truth: Nigerian women have always lived boldly, made decisive moves, and shaped their communities, even when no one expected them to.

Look closely at history, and you'll find a long tradition of Nigerian women choosing their own paths.

This isn't a history lesson. It's a reminder.
