Siti Aisyah We Tenriolle is a female emancipation leader from the Bugis tribe, in Tanete, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Siti Aisyah We Tenriolle is the Datu (Queen) of Tanete Kingdom (now Barru), South Sulawesi in 1855-1910. In addition to the Kingdom of Tanete, Siti Aisyah We Tenriolle also controlled the Bugis Kingdom. Thanks to Siti Aisyah We Tenriolle’s contribution in translating the masterpieces of the epic La Galigo from the ancient Bugis to the common Bugis language, Tanete gained popularity as far as the oceans and continents of Europe. The time of birth of Siti Aisyah is not known for certain. However, Siti Aisyah We Tenriolle died in 1919, in the village of Pancana Tanette ri Lau, who is also his hometown.
