Und gleich noch etwas von My Modern Met<\/a>: „Historical Portraits of African Female Warriors by Street Artist YZ“.
\nThe historical portraits reference the highly-trained military women of the First Franco-Dahomean War in the 1890s, who, according to accounts, were actively fighting and killing the French.<\/i><\/p>\n

Genial. So kann man Geschichte auch lernen. Unglaublich eindrucksvolle Gesichter. Mich w\u00fcrde interessieren, wo die K\u00fcnstlerin („French Street Artist YZ“) das her hat. Gibt es die „Female Warriors“ irgendwo in einem Fotobuch?<\/p>\n

Vgl. Brooklyn Street Art<\/a>:
\n\u201cI want to show warriors from ancient times; revolutionists, anti-colonialists, intellectual women who have written the story of Africa. We need figures to be proud of our roots, to keep fighting for our rights, and to write the story of tomorrow.“<\/i><\/p>\n

Superselected.com<\/a>:
\nThe African Kingdom of Dahomey<\/a> (modern day Benin) lasted from about 1600-1900. In 1729, an all-female militia<\/a> organized and became a respected force within the kingdom. Eventually, the militia became so highly respected that King Ghezo<\/a>, king of Dahomey from 1797 to 1818, ordered all of the families in the kingdom to send their daughters in to be considered to join the militia. Only the fittest and strongest women were chosen.<\/i><\/p>\n

Ich glaube nicht, dass so etwas in deutschen Schulen gelernt wird. Daf\u00fcr gibt es aber Religionsunterricht. Um Geschichte zu lernen, muss man eben manchmal mit dem Computer spielen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

[Update] Ich habe noch etwas gefunden<\/a>: „Dahomey\u2019s Women Warriors“. Und mit der Google Bildersuche<\/a> nat\u00fcrlich.<\/p>\n
