A stunning beauty and nationalist who has been given all sorts of ugly tags. From spy to courtesan to communist, to seductress, most dangerous woman in Africa, manipulative and finally the mighty witch.

Who is this drop-dead gorgeous Beauty who was so beautiful that she ran away from the Catholic orphanage where the nuns were about to bundle her off to an arranged marriage? Who was this head-turner who a French aristocrat kept as his concubine when she was only seventeen?

What business did she even have being in an orphanage in the first place if she was born to Josephine Wouassimba of Njoukou at age 14 and Pierre Gerbillat of France aged 41? Both parents are known.

Name calling is the human way to go when the subject of oppression refuses to be oppressed.
