Calling All African Women And Men!

I know there are a few on this forum and I need your help people!

I`m writing my dissertation on feminism and how it affects african people around the world. I think feminism from the african point of view is under-represented and i`m trying to get the opinion of as many african women as possible.

I have to add at this point, it doesn`t matter if you are into feminism or not. If you are not into feminism, simply post saying you are not into it (and give your reason) because it would give my disseration a well rounded point of view.

PROFILE:
1) Name or username
2) Age (if you want)
3) Gender
4) Country you are from and Country you are living in . . . have you ever lived in your country of origin?!
5) Religion

QUESTIONS:
1) While growing up where you ever told stories of great/powerful/influencial women? It could be a myth,folklore or true story. Do you know of any great/powerful/influencial Africa women?

2) Does your religion affect your feminist views?

3) What`s your opinion of feminism and the feminist movement?! Is it relevant to african cultures?

4) How are women treated in your culture? What is their role?

Feel free to send me a pm, if you do not want to answer these questions publicly on the forum.

Thanksies,
Tejumade (that`s my real name, it`s only fair since I`m asking you to post yours -  )
