Ruth Lara

Rosenberg Lara (17 September 1936 – 25 October 2000) was a Portuguese-Angolan educator, mathematician, translator, and activist. She was the First Lady of Angola briefly, after her husband, physicist-mathematician, anti-colonial revolutionary, and politician Lúcio Lara, took office for 9 days on an interim basis after the death of Agostinho Neto. She was a developer of one of the first literacy manuals made by Angolans, along with having been responsible, alongside her husband, for their historic documents on the process of Angolan decolonization during the Angolan War of Independence.[1]
