Ella Koblo Gulama

Paramount Chief Ella Koblo Gulama GCOR (26 January 1921 – 9 September 2006) was a Sierra Leonean paramount chief and politician. In 1957, she became the first elected female Member of Parliament in Sierra Leone. Quotes It is the desire of most women in Sierra Leone that the women of this country be given the same opportunities as are enjoyed by men. We have been hearing of promotions and of elevations given to the men of Sierra Leone, but how many women have been elected to the Civil Service? How many women have been elevated in the country? It would be meaningless if independence did not have something worthwhile to offer every sector of the community including women. To contribute to nation building and to show to my people that women can take their places side by side with the men folk.
