"According to Greek accounts, the earliest Amazons came from Libya (then a name for most of North Africa). They wore red leather and carried crescent-shaped shields. It was these Libyan Amazons, they said, who later founded cities and temples in the Aegean and Anatolia.
At a much later period, the Amazons of Dahomey were crack all-female troops, all female, who also served as royal bodyguards. They were also priestesses and wore crescent moon crowns."
See the link for more on the women that beat the slave catchers. Interesting that there was an ABA rebellion in Southeastern Nigeria. They managed to mobilize 2 million women and the writer that provided the information states that it was the most significant rebellion against colonial rule.
Similar protests took place in Senegal against the French.
We also have the RAIN QUEENS of LOVEDU, how lovely. The rain queens obviously knew how to work with the weather, like the Native Indians of America and shamans from other indigenous peoples.
In Swazi, the Queen is called 'Mother of the Country' and 'LADY ELEPHANT'. She has the power to give sanctuary to others. [1]
