Lhe myth told us that amazons, powerful and independent women had revolted against the society dominated by men and that these powerful warrior women disillusioned with the system of yesteryear now lived in a matriarchal society where men were excluded. The myth also said that these single women often mated with men without ever marrying and that once their goal was fulfilled, they did not hesitate to kill them.
But, reality teaches us that 4000 warriors, 4000 black virgins of Dahomey (current Benin), bodyguards of the monarch, old or young, ugly or pretty fought with gun and knife in hand and that these courageous women called Mino, ("Our mothers" in the Fon language) fought valiantly against the French occupation troops until 1890.
The story goes that 1500 of them were massacred by love for their country by doing do what to the oppressor and the army of the colonizer.
