Africa's Women Warriors

Quote

Earlier this week I watched a movie title "The woman king" that prompted this post and a search into history.

Africa was home to a part of the world’s best heads in the ancient era. African women have played a significant role in the continent’s history.

African Queens were among the forerunners, commanding their territories with precision and love for their people. Their power has made an everlasting impression in history.

The Dahomey Amazon Warriors were the most famous African warrior women of the 1890s. The only female frontline troops in contemporary conflict history. A sub-Saharan band of female terminators who left their European colonizers trembling.

Hangbe was a Queen Regent Hangbe of Dahomey Kingdom & a driver behind the formation of fearless female army that inspire Black Panther today.
