== Bringing article up to GA status == |

Hello all -- as part of [[wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Green|WikiProject Women in Green]]'s current focus on women's rights activists and suffragists, I'm interested in bringing the Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti article up to GA status. It looks like several editors have been actively contributing to the page this year, so I wanted to ask: would anyone like to collaborate with me on this? If so, let me know and I'd love to talk.

== Re: Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti == |

Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti (1900-1978) was a prominent Nigerian educator, political campaigner, women's rights activist, and traditional aristocrat. She was one of the most influential women in Nigeria's history and played a crucial role in the country's struggle for independence and women's rights. |
|||
Born Frances Abigail Olufunmilayo Thomas in Abeokuta, Nigeria, she was among the first Nigerian women to drive a car and one of the first to receive a Western education. She studied in England before returning to Nigeria, where she became a teacher. |
|||
Ransome-Kuti's activism began with her involvement in the Abeokuta Ladies Club, which she co-founded in 1923. This organization later evolved into the Abeokuta Women's Union (AWU), which she also founded. The AWU became a powerful force for women's rights and social change, particularly known for its opposition to colonial taxation policies that disproportionately affected women. Through protests and advocacy, she successfully pressured the colonial government to make significant policy changes. |
|||
She was a key figure in the Nigerian independence movement, working alongside notable leaders like Nnamdi Azikiwe and Obafemi Awolowo. She also founded the Nigerian Women's Union and the Federation of Nigerian Women's Societies, advocating for broader social and political reforms. |
|||
Ransome-Kuti's influence extended to international platforms. She was a delegate to the Women's International Democratic Federation in the USSR and the People's Republic of China. She also attended the first Conference of African Women in Ghana in 1960. |
|||
In addition to her activism, she was the mother of Fela Kuti, the legendary musician and activist, and her legacy continues through her family's ongoing contributions to Nigerian culture and politics. |
|||
Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti's life was dedicated to fighting for social justice, women's rights, and Nigeria's independence, making her an enduring symbol of resistance and empowerment. [[User:Mopelola-adeniyi|Mopelola-adeniyi]] ([[User talk:Mopelola-adeniyi|talk]]) 07:36, 26 May 2024 (UTC) |
