African Women in Liberation Struggles

Ghana: In 1951, the CPP selected Leticia Quake, Hanna Cudjoe, Ama Nkrumah and Madam Sohia Doku as propaganda secretaries who traveled around the country conducting political education meetings and recruiting people into the party. After Independence in 1957, these women played an integral role in shaping the policies in Ghana as organizers, politicians and journalists. In 1960 they brought all the women’s movements together and consolidated them into the National Council of Ghana Women.
