- 25,232 viewsIn the Footsteps of the Warrior Queen is a journey to the heart of Benin's ancient Kingdom of Dahomey, where a great warrior queen, Tassi Hangbé, once led an all female army of women warriors, known as 'Amazons'. Benin's formidable lawyer and four-time presidential candidate, Marie Elise Gbedo, leads us to her country's past, where powerful women conquered and instilled fear, and questions the future of her country, where 70% of women today are victims of domestic violence. #womanking #dahomey #bbcafrica Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetoafrica Website: https://www.bbc.com/africa Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bbcnewsafrica/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/bbcafrica/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bbcafrica/
