AS AGOJIE | As guerreiras do Daomé

Descubra a verdadeira história das *Agojie, o lendário exército feminino do Reino do Daomé que enfrentou impérios africanos e a expansão colonial francesa. Muito além dos mitos de Hollywood e de *A Mulher Rei, este vídeo faz uma análise baseada em *fontes primárias*, relatos de viajantes, documentos militares franceses e pesquisas acadêmicas para reconstruir a origem, o treinamento, a organização e o legado dessas guerreiras. Você vai entender como surgiu o único grande exército feminino permanente da história moderna, seu papel nas guerras do Daomé, sua participação no tráfico de escravos, os confrontos contra a Legião Estrangeira Francesa e o trágico destino das sobreviventes. Uma história marcada por coragem, violência, política e profundas contradições históricas.
