Sokhna Magat Diop
Sokhna Magat Diop (c. 1917–2003) was a Senegalese religious leader. She headed the Mouride community, of which her father, Serigne Abdalaye Yakhine Diop, had been the leader; he named her to be head of one section in 1943, having no male heirs and recognizing her abilities. In 1990 a history of her work in the community, L'Islam au féminin: Sokhna Magat Diop, cheikh de la confrérie mouride by Christian Coulon and Odile Reveyrand, was published.[1]
