This week on For the love of history we dive into the story of the Dahomey Amazon, the real warriors that inspired the Dora Milaje of Wakanda. A ruthless group of women who protected the rulers of the Dahomey kingdom with their lives and fought to the death against French colonizers. Their origins are shrouded in mystery with legends remarkably similar to Marvel's Black Panther. Come with me as we uncover the history of the Dahomey kingdom, the lives of the Amazons, and the Spartan-like skill with which they protected their king and country.

Welcome back, my delicious doughnut! 🍩 This week, we’re peeling back the velvet curtain on one of London's most scandalous and fabulous crime syndicates: the Forty Elephants, an all-women gang who ruled the shoplifting scene from the Victorian era well into the Roaring Twenties.

What You’ll Learn in This Glamorous Heist of an Episode:
💎 How these women outsmarted Victorian shopkeepers with handmade “grafter bloomers” (yes, pockets galore!)
💎 The rise of Alice Diamond, the fierce queenpin rocking diamond-knuckled rings
💎 The jaw-dropping heists that left London buzzing (hello, mink coats worth thousands!)
💎 Why luxury goods weren’t just about vanity but a defiant statement of independence
Why You’ll Love It:
It's history with sass, scandal, and some seriously clever ladies who knew how to game the system. If you've ever wondered whether you'd survive as a Victorian-era crime boss, this episode will have you dreaming up your own heist team.
