This article outlines the work of women in leading up to and following "the Year of Africa". It specifically mentions how the women participated in resisting British and colonial rule through protests, organizing and working side by side with leaders after independence in order to Achieve true emancipation. One of the territories the article focuses on is Ghana, led by Kwame Nkrumah as politicians and journalists and eventually consolidated their efforts into one organization in 1960, The National Council of Ghana Women. Ama Nkrumah was cited as one of these women and spoke to positive action that needed to be taken in order for women to attain their full rights and achieve what Europe could not-unity. However, the territories still struggle as capitalism reigns king as Africa still struggles with self determination and recognition int he global market from all countries of the world.

This article, specifically page 31, gives some tangible background on Ama Nkrumah and her role in assisting Kwame Nkrumah. This article also provides a more detailed idea of what Kwame Nkrumah's party ran on and how he was supported by women in his part of Pan-Africanism and the experiment of self determination in Africa that all of Europe was dying to see. I would love to use this resource as a means to give some background on what Ama and many other women were supporting and how they, within their given capacities contributed to Ghanas independence.
