The Mino Warriors of Dahomey

Legends of Bravery and Prowess

I’m sure many of my readers have seen the movie The Woman King. As such, the legendary exploits of the Mino, an extraordinary all-female military regiment that served the Kingdom of Dahomey, in what is now present-day Benin won’t be new to you.

I intend to do a comprehensive analysis of that film in the future as I have many thoughts about it and what it represents. The reception from audiences when it was released was interesting and definitely warrants a closer investigation. However, who were these female African warriors?
