This presentation conveys to core an aspect mostly denigrated by people for not according due recognition, heroines in war or conflict situations and thus, it enlightens importance of women’s participation in Majimaji War in Tanzania from 1905 to 1907 at varied capacities. Importantly, enlightened through applied theoretical underpinning, it leads to recognise such women as Majimaji war heroines who have been accorded little attention and therefore, it is reasonable to declare that they are unsung Majimaji war heroines.
