Barashango presents the African woman as the original guardian angel — the first teacher, protector, and transmitter of culture — drawing on Nile Valley history and African spiritual tradition. The book examines the place of African women in the rise of civilization and calls for restoring their honored role in the family and the community. It is among the best-known works of Fourth Dynasty Publishing, the Silver Spring house Barashango co-founded.
