The Dahomey Amazons, also known as “Mino,” were the elite all-female warriors of the Kingdom of Dahomey, active from the 17th to 19th century. These incredible women began their military training as young as 8 years old. Recruits were either voluntary or enrolled by their fathers or husbands. Once a part of the regiment, they were not allowed to marry or bear children, as their only loyalty was to the King.

Their training was grueling, involving intense endurance, survival skills, and mastery of weaponry. Divided into specialized units, such as riflewomen, archers, and reapers, they were the kingdom’s frontline soldiers. They played a pivotal role in expanding the Dahomey Kingdom, often acquiring slaves to trade for European weaponry. Despite the brutal nature of their missions, the Dahomey Amazons held unique privileges and respect within society, even advising the King as part of the Grand Council.

Their legacy as one of history’s most fearsome fighting forces endures to this day, proving the extraordinary strength and courage of these women warriors.
