Let me let you on a little secret. The elite female warriors in Black Panther were inspired by real live Amazons.Yes, Amazons still exist till this day. They fearlessly practice Amazonian feminism.
If you are a feminist, tourist or anthropologist, you should strongly consider paying them a visit.
They can still be found in Benin Republic. They even have a queen, Queen Hangbe.
You don’t believe me? Check out this BBC story about them. You’ll also see the current Queen Hangbe in her royal splendour.
Amazonian feminism has an ancient queendom still very much around.
