    If you've ever wondered how a fierce female warrior legend from Africa might have been, the biography that I discuss in episode 4 reveals it. Her name was Njinga, and she was the Queen of Matamba (and Ndongo) in modern day Angola.

    Towards the end of the discussion on her biography, by Linda M. Heywood, the title and question of the 4th book in this journey are revealed.
