Janet Okala (1894-1971) was a Nigerian political leader. Early lifeJanet Okala was born in Onitsha in 1894 as the third child and first daughter of Odukwe Odili.[1] She later became a resident of Owerrinta where she became known for her political activism.[2] Her alias was "Mama Bread" as she also owned a bakery.[2] Political career and activismIn 1929, Okala led protesting women in the Owerrinta region during the Aba Women's War.[2] According to historian Nina Emma Mba, Okala had previously provided leadership and counseling to local women but rose to particular prominence during the war.[3] In 1945, Okala formed the Enugu Women's Association and was elected one of its vice presidents.[4] Following a 1949 visit from Funmilayo Ransome Kuti (FRK), the group changed its name to the Enugu branch of the Nigerian Women's Union.[5] In describing FRK's visit, Okala wrote that "Before that time women at Enugu had no right to probe into the affairs of their country. Mrs. Kuti on her arrival educated us."[4] Local newspapers such as the West African Pilot and the Daily Times celebrated the group's name change as a symbol of nationalist solidarity among Nigerian women.[4] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://oxfordindex.oup.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780195382075.013.1613|title=Okala, Janet (1894) : Dictionary of African Biography - oi|website=oxfordindex.oup.com|language=en|doi=10.1093/acref/9780195382075.013.1613|access-date=2019-02-05}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Okala, Janet}}{{Nigeria-politician-stub}}2. ^1 2 {{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Z3jouPZxPC4C&pg=PA235&dq=Janet+Okala+nigeria&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjY78O_uaXgAhVl6YMKHUY7D8IQ6AEIKjAA#v=onepage&q=Janet%20Okala%20nigeria&f=false|title=Igbo Women and Economic Transformation in Southeastern Nigeria, 1900-1960|last=Chuku|first=Gloria|date=2005|publisher=Psychology Press|isbn=9780415972109|language=en}} 3. ^{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NRQwr4fiADAC&pg=PA75&dq=Janet+Okala+nigeria&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjY78O_uaXgAhVl6YMKHUY7D8IQ6AEINTAC#v=onepage&q=Janet%20Okala%20nigeria&f=false|title=Gender, Literacy, and Life Chances in Sub-Saharan Africa|last=Egbo|first=Benedicta|date=2000-01-01|publisher=Multilingual Matters|isbn=9781853594649|language=en}} 4. ^1 2 {{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZyMyspsywPsC&pg=PA122&dq=Janet+Okala+nigeria&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjY78O_uaXgAhVl6YMKHUY7D8IQ6AEIOTAD#v=onepage&q=Janet%20Okala&f=false|title=For Women and the Nation: Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti of Nigeria|last=Johnson-Odim|first=Cheryl|last2=Mba|first2=Nina Emma|date=1997|publisher=University of Illinois Press|isbn=9780252066139|language=en}} 5. ^{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6-WYM0iQ3wUC&pg=PA244&dq=Janet+Okala+nigeria&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjY78O_uaXgAhVl6YMKHUY7D8IQ6AEIMDAB#v=onepage&q=Janet%20Okala%20nigeria&f=false|title=Gender and Power Relations in Nigeria|last=Ako-Nai|first=Ronke Iyabowale|date=2013|publisher=Rowman & Littlefield|isbn=9780739177785|language=en}} 4 : 1894 births|1971 deaths|People from Onitsha|Women's rights activists |
