Sirah Baldé
Sirah Baldé de Labé (1929–2018) was a Guinean novelist and teacher. Baldé was born in Labé in 1929. She studied to be a teacher in Rufisque, Senegal and has said that she was the first woman to teach French in the former kingdom of Fula, Imamate of Futa Jallon, during the French occupation. Baldé is best known for her 1985 novel ''D'un Fouta-Djalloo à l'autre'' (From One Futa Jalon to the Other), published by La Pensée Universelle.

The scholar Jean-Marie Volet noted in 2008 that the book is "almost impossible to find", but that Baldé's writing as a pioneer of French edu ...
