The presentation on “Heroines of the Majimaji-War in Afrocenctric and Feminist Perspectives” stems from fact that scholars on women and war concentrate by referring to women’s unfair treatment or ill-treatment and conciliatory capabilities. They are known as having responsibility as women fighters and war adherents. Similarly, scholars report, though minimally, on women’s participation in Majimaji war, which, to a large extent, their responsibilities in Majimaji war is not accorded due prominence. Thus, the presentation would further enlighten on women’s participation in Majimaji war based on Afrocentric and Feminist perspectives.
