The Real Women King: Africa’s Fearless Agojie Warriors

Long before Hollywood told the story, the women of Dahomey lived it. In the 1800s, an elite army of women known as the Agojie stood against French colonization in West Africa. Trained for war and sworn to protect their kingdom, they faced rifles and cannons with nothing but courage, machetes, and loyalty to Dahomey. This is the true story behind “The Woman King.” A story of real African heroes who fought for their land and became legends.
