Men, gallant men for that matter, dominate the history books of Ghana when it comes to the establishment of the various kingdoms in the country and their ruling. The great Okomfo Anokye is acclaimed for his role in the establishment of the Ashanti Kingdom, Naa Gbewaa for the Dagbon Kingdom, and Sumalia Ndewura Jakpa for the establishment of the Gonja Kingdom. The one female most Ghanaians have heard of when it comes to the country's traditional establishment is the legendary Queen Mother of Ejisu, Yaa Asantewaa, who is acclaimed for leading the Ashantis to the War of the Golden Stool against the British in September 1900. Well, there are other legendary women, the history books have shown, who played great roles in their kingdoms but their tales are not known to most Ghanaians, and one such woman is the great Naa Dode Akabi. Naa Dode Akabi was a Guan woman who became the first female 'king' of the Ga Kingdom, ruling the people of Ga for 25 years from 1610 to 1635.
