Descripción:
Ver traducción automática
The Dahomey Amazons were a Fon all-female military regiment of the Kingdom of Dahomey. While European narratives refer to the women soldiers as Amazons, they called themselves ahosi (king's wives) or Mino (our mothers). During their membership they were not allowed to have children or be part of married life. Many of them were virgins. The Mino trained with intense physical exercise. They learnt survival skills and indifference to pain and death. The Mino were also wealthy and held high status. Engraving by Labrousse from Costumes of Different Countries, circa 1797.
