Arraweelo (or Arawelo) was a legendary queen from Somalia, whose story can be used to show how folklore can be manipulated to the taste of multiple political agendas.

Arraweelo can be seen as a woman who fought against the male-dominated society she lived in. She is said to have gained power after encouraging the women of the region to go on strike for three days; the men were therefore so busy with carrying out the women's work that Arraweelo was able to usurp the throne.
She is held to be something of a proto-feminist leader, who helped the women of Somalia attempt to break out of the miserable situation they were in.
