SYLVIA TAMALE (UGANDA)
Sylvia Tamale was not only the first Dean of the Faculty of Law at Makerere University, but she is also Uganda’s most controversial feminist ever. Her most controversial claim is that men get worked up about homosexuality because the thought of one man on top of another totally goes against their ingrained view of domination. She has published extensively in the area of gender and politics, including her groundbreaking book, When Hens Begin to Crow: Gender & Parliamentary Politics in Uganda.
