Deolinda Rodrigues Francisco de Almeida (nom de guerre, Langidila;[1] honorary title, "Mother of the Revolution"; 10 February 1939 – 2 March 1967)[2] was an Angolan nationalist, militant, writer, and translator, who also taught, wrote poetry, and worked as a radio host.[3] Born into a Methodist family, she received a scholarship to study in Brazil, from where she corresponded with Martin Luther King Jr. Fearing extradition, she continued her education in the United States before returning to Angola. Rodrigues was a member of the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) and co-founded its women's wing, the Organização da Mulher de Angola (Organization of Angolan Women; OMA). She was captured, tortured, and executed by a rival nationalist group in 1967. A documentary of her life was released in 2014.
