There are 15 women from Africa on the BBC's latest list of 100 inspiring and influential women from around the world.

They cover a huge range of jobs from diplomat to metal worker to model.

Among the list is Cameroon-born historian Olivette Otele, who became the UK's first black history professor earlier this year.

"I think structural barriers prevent people who look like me and from other ethnic backgrounds from reaching the ladder and achieving certain things," she told the BBC.

"You have to work harder, much harder."
