Ahmed Sékou Touré
The Role of Women in the Revolution
c. 1975
A copy of 'The Role of Women in the Revolution' by Ahmed Sékou Touré (1922–1984), the independence leader and president of Guinea, published as an offset lithograph booklet in 1974. The text codified Guinea's postcolonial socialist discourse on women's emancipation and is a key Cold-War-era African document on the intersection of socialism and feminism. The Art Institute of Chicago holds it as an archival reference in its political ephemera collection.
