One woman's refusal helped spark a revolt against British colonial rule. In 1929, an Igbo woman named Nwanyeruwa resisted an attempt to count her during a colonial enumeration exercise because women feared it would lead to taxation. The confrontation helped ignite the Women's War. Thousands of women mobilized against colonial authorities and their appointed chiefs. British forces eventually killed dozens of women during the uprising. A simple refusal became part of one of the most significant anti-colonial protests in Nigerian history. Never underestimate what happens when people who have endured oppression for years finally decide they've had enough.
