Abstract: This article examines how women’s involvement in Tanzanian politics has been a catalyst for growth because women’s roles in leadership have historically been effective in societal development. However, the roles of Tanzanian women have been overlooked in historical documentation, something which is very important to be in written form, so that future generations can find good examples to emulate. The aim of writing this article was to show that a Tanzanian woman has been involved in political activities since long ago, on one hand, the leadership positions she once held, on the other hand her performance in leadership and her success. The study employed Historical Research Design.Data collected came from different sources which are Primary and Secondary Sources. Primary written information was obtained from the Tanzania National Archives (TNA) and East Africana Collections in Dar es Salaam such as: Speeches, Hansards, Reports and magazines. Secondary sources included; books, journal, articles, theses and dissertation from the universities of Saint Augustine-Mwanza and Dar es Salaam. oral interviews were conducted to the people who were linked to the topic such as Anne S. Makinda and her relatives in order to obtain the early life history based on research objective.
