By Irene Mugo Verified| Daily Nation Verified Muthoni wa Kirima, the only female leader with the rank of Field Marshall in the Mau Mau, and who died this week, has been celebrated as a true freedom fighter who stood for the liberation struggle long after independence. The 92-year-old was born in Tetu, Nyeri County. While other women were assigned spy roles or to deliver food to the Mau Mau fighters, Muthoni stayed on the frontline, taking on the British colonisers, thanks to her knowledge of the terrains and sharpshooter skill.
