Queen Arwa al-Sulayhi ruled Yemen for over 50 years. She was a strong ruler and became the patron of a branch of Islam that survives today thanks in part to her efforts.

Episode 2.8 - Arwa al-Sulayhi

The podcast focuses on the lives and times of great historical figures that have mostly fallen through the cracks of our collective memories. We may have heard of these people, but they don't get the attention that some do. Here, they get their due. http://almostforgotten.squarespace.com on Twitter: @thealmostforgot
