Comment peut-on associer son destin à des Sékou Touré, Idi Aminé, Bokassa, Mobutu, Eyadema, Macias Nguema, Theodorp Obiang, Charles Taylor ou Mugabe ? Sans oublier Blaise Compaoré ou Paul Biya. Que dire du couple Gbagbo ou Museweni ? Pourquoi parler des premières dames alors qu'elles ne sont pas élues ? Tout simplement parce qu'elles prétendent jouer un rôle public, voire politique. Elles investissent l'humanitaire et le caritatif, monopolisant les médias, parfois captant les ressources des bailleurs de fonds internationaux.
