Empress Taytu Betul Adwa Strategist Tee
The Empress Who Defeated an Empire
$40.00
In 1896, as Italian forces advanced on Ethiopia with plans to colonize one of Africa's last independent nations, one woman refused to let her country fall. Empress Taytu Betul did not wait on the sidelines. She mobilized troops, led soldiers into battle, and devised the strategy that cut off the Italian army's water supply at the Battle of Adwa. Her brilliance on the battlefield helped secure a victory that stunned the world and kept Ethiopia free.
The Adwa Strategist Tee honors the empress who proved that African sovereignty was not negotiable. The front features a bold portrait of Empress Taytu, and the back captures the defining moment of her legacy: the battle strategy that changed the course of African history.
