Yet another daft thread by a man getting dafter by the day.
Anyway mine is Edna Adan Ismail Dhakhtar: Afterall how many Somali woman could muster her extraordinary biography:
One of few Christians in an almost uniformly boringly orthodox Muslim place; one of the first fully qualified Nurses in somalia; One of the most prominent feminist workers in Somalia; First lady of the first Prime Minister Of the First Independent somali Nation ever in history; First lady(after friendly parting from the PM) of one of the most swasbuckingly heroic milatary figures in somalia - the Sandhurst-trained hassan Keyd; the first female Minister of any Somali governement; the first Somali woman to fly an airplane solo(circa 61) and the first woman ever in Africa to single handedly(almost) build a hospital from her own pocket and from the pockets of her friends while serving as a Minister of foreign Affairs for an unrecognised country. Or for that matter a recognised one.
