Welcome back to The Voice of The Pen ( VoP), the only blog that publishes articles weekly on Gambian literature and publications, arts and culture.


This week, I choose to celebrate and recognize special Gambian women in our country's history as a celebration of women’s efforts across the nation to make the world a better place for females.


 These are the ladies who paved the way for women to have a place not only in the house, but the Statehouse  and all other workplaces in and outside The Gambia.

Here are the 20 influential Gambian women who continue to inspire us.
