The Dahomey Amazon warrior trained intensely, often in hand-to-hand combat amongst themselves.
Discipline was very much emphasized as they learnt survival skills.
The Dahomey Amazons were not allowed to have children or partake in any form of family life, as they were formally married to the King. As he didn’t have s.exual relations with them, as a result, they remained celibate, although very few were given off in marriage to respected dignitaries of the kingdom.
The Woman King is the remarkable story of the Agojie (Dahomey Amazon). Inspired by true events, The Woman King follows the emotionally epic journey of General Nanisca (Oscar -winner Viola Davis) as she inspires the King to take on the enemies determined to vi0late their honor and d.estroy their way of life.
They were also featured in Black Panther movie.
