Who is she?

Okay, here's an easy one!




She was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1905. She started working in a barbershop as a �lather girl� (hmm sounds interesting!) and later a model. She went on to become one of America�s leading film actresses and was especially known for her reclusiveness. Her famous line was �I vant to be alone�! [emphasis supplied on her accent]!

Bravo, Gundamor...   

Yes, she was very beautiful, but very unhappy when she became famous. She hated all the publicity and lack of privacy afforded her with notoriety.

WOW, I'm amazed that no one was able to identify this woman. Well, here's the answer:

She is..... Meena Keshwar Kamal also referred to as the "Heroine of Afghanistan" and founder of RAWA (Revolutionary Association for the Women of Afghanistan).

Gulbuddin Hekmatyar was the CIA's favorite mujahideen commander. He was referred to by CIA cheifs as "our blue-eyed mujahid".

Originally posted by Maziar The funny thing is Hekmatyar was hided also in Iran, yes a favourite CIA mujahed supported and hided by iranian Mullahs. What a crazy world

Oh, a refugee, only a poor refugee,wow.

Ahem, now that I have all of your attention:     

This is another brave and strong woman which I highly respect and support. At only 27 years of age, she is the feminist voice in her country and is considered to be the most famous woman of her country. She fears being assassinated, like all the other outspoken women before her, and she knows her mission can get her killed, to which she responds, �They will kill me but they will not kill my voice because it will be the voice of all women of [my country].� I admire her when she says, � I am not better than any of the others, but I am young and energetic and the women of [my country] need me.�   Every country needs strong women like this one!

Who is she?

    


She was born in 1582, of Angoloan descent and was a member of Jagas (an ethnic militant group against Portuguese slave traders). She waged war, as a military leader, against European slave hunters. Totally devoted to the resistance movement, she formed alliances with other foreign powers to free Angola of European influence. Her struggle helped awaken others that followed her and forced them to mount offensives against invaders, including the mother of the great Zulu warrior Chaka; Madame Tinubu of Nigeria, Kaipkire of the Herero people of South West Africa, and the female army that followed the Dahomian King, Behanzin Bowelle.

A plus for Maziar....   

She is indeed NZINGHA, known as the "Amazon Queen of Matamba West Africa"

She was born in Darmstadt, Hesse, Germany in 1872. She was known by some to be obstinate, cold and withdrawn, but also known by others to be loyal to her country and family. Her brother died of hemophilia and, three years later, her mother and sister died from diptheria. She became engaged in Coburg, Germany to a famous Russian, and married him for love, even though their families didn�t agree. They were married for 23 years and had five children. The empire rejoiced with a 301 cannon salute at the birth of the heir to the throne (the only son they had). She ruled with her famous Russian husband, but they were disliked by certain groups. Ultimately, thinking she was posing for a photograph, they were assassinated.
