ABSTRACT : For a long time, because of negative prejudices, the black African woman was considered as abeing unable of performing certain activities considered as masculine. But today, thanks to her education andthe universalization of human rights and human dignity, she has managed to position herself as a very importantand essential being in the development and respectability of hercommunity. Her present struggle for an effectiveequality between man and her is not a mere view of the mind because, in ancient history and even if they werenotnumerous, sub-Saharan women achieved great things which were by no means withinthe reach of any malehuman being.Tales and legends, which highlight the bravery and genius of women, as well as some currentfighting women are, for her, an invitation to be ambitious, daring and tenacious to change her life and hersociety: if she has self-confidence, she will not only be able to compete with men in all areas of life but alsocatch up with them.
