I shall call upon my fellow women. We will fight the white men. We will fight till the last of us falls in the battlefields. If you, the men, will not go forward, then we will. We, the women, will. I shall call upon my fellow women. The struggle for freedom demands sacrifice. Are you willing to sacrifice for the liberation of our people?” A brave heart knows no fear. Let us face our enemies with courage and determination. “It is not enough to desire freedom; we must take action to achieve it.” “The strength of a nation lies in the unity of its people.

The chains of oppression can only be broken by those who refuse to be enslaved. https://smartbitchestrashybooks.com/2019/04/kickass-women-in-history-yaa-asantewaa/#:~:ext=We%2C%20the%20women%2C%20will.,us%20falls%20in%20the%20battlefields.
