520    An unapologetically African-centered monograph that 
       reveals physical and spiritual forms and systems of female
       power and leadership in African cultures. Nwando Achebe's 
       unparalleled study documents elite females, female 
       principles, and female spiritual entities across the 
       African continent, from the ancient past to the present. 
       Achebe breaks from Western perspectives, research methods,
       and their consequently incomplete, skewed accounts, to 
       demonstrate the critical importance of distinctly African 
       source materials and world views to any comprehensible 
       African history. This means accounting for the two 
       realities of African cosmology: the physical world of 
       humans and the invisible realm of spiritual gods and 
       forces. That interconnected universe allows biological men
       and women to become female-gendered males and male-
       gendered females. This phenomenon empowers the existence 
       of particular African beings, such as female husbands, 
       male priestesses, female kings, and female pharaohs. 
       Achebe portrays their combined power, influence, and 
       authority in a sweeping, African-centric narrative that 
       leads to an analogous consideration of contemporary 
       African women as heads of state, government officials, 
       religious leaders, and prominent entrepreneurs
