Woizero 'Zenebework' was the wife of Wossen Seged, Meridazmach of Shewa; the mother of King Sahle Selassie, the first Negus of Shewa; the grandmother of King Haile Melekot of Shewa; and the great-grandmother of Emperor Menelik II. Woizero Zenebework held the powerful districts of Menz and Tegulet as her personal fiefs.
Zenebework was the most powerful woman in Shewa during the reigns of her husband, son and grandson. She joined her daughter-in-law Bezabish in betraying her grandson Haile Melekot by submitting to Emperor Tewodros II of Ethiopia when he invaded Shewa in 1855 to forcefully re-incorporate it into the Empire.
