Amazone Gbe

The women warriors of the Fon kingdom, known as the Amazons of Dahomey, were an elite military force that European colonizers never forgot. Today their legacy is honored through dance performances, historical reenactments in Abomey, and the retelling of stories that every Beninese child learns in school. These women fought, led, and proved that strength has no gender.
