Leading Ladies is a short 2D animated podcast originating from Zambia. The podcast was first released on YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn on March 27, 2019.[1] The podcast focuses on the lives of significant African women who held leadership positions between the 17th and 19th century[2] [3] [4] The primary objective of the podcast is to shed light on the obscured and often hidden stories of Zambian women who have held significant leadership roles throughout history.

The Women's History Museum in Zambia and Hivos Southern Africa Region jointly produce the animated podcast.[5] [6] The podcast's stories are set across Zambia's 10 provinces and were sourced from the National Archives of Zambia. The podcast's first season was written by Mulenga Kapwepwe and Samba Yonga and premiered on March 27, 2019.[7] [8] [9] It explored the lives of women who made important but often untold contributions to Zambia's history during the pre-colonial era.[10]

The podcast's second season, which premiered on September 16, 2020, presents more contemporary accounts of Zambian leading ladies. The podcast serves as a means of educating and inspiring audiences on the significant impact of women's leadership in Zambia's history.
