Queen Amina of Zazzau.
Amina of Zaria (1533 - 1610), commonly known as the warrior queen, expanded the territory of the Hausa people of West Africa to the largest borders in history.

Amina was the warrior queen of Zazzau (now Zaria). She was known also as Amina Sarauniya of Zazzau. She lived approximately 200 years prior to the establishment of the Sokoto Caliphate in the nineteenth century.
