Hadsan Doreh (Somali: Xaadsan Dooreeh, Arabic: حادسن دوريه) was an early 20th-century Somali female commander of the Dervish State, a state which frequently engaged in battles against the imperial powers during the Somali campaign. Female Darwiish such as her were referred to as Darwiishaad or Darawiishaad.[1]
Biography
Doreh was the wife of Mohammed Abdullah Hassan, who assigned her one of the nine divisions of the Dervish army.[2]
In his biography of Muhammad Abdullah Hassan and Hassan's Dervish comrades, the author Ray Beachey compared Doreh to the ancient British Queen Boadicea in her struggle against the Roman Empire.[citation needed]
