June 1962 - Last Of The Amazons - Horsetail Is a Charm

June 1962 - Last Of The Amazons - Horsetail Is a Charm Against Bullets - I use to challenge the boys in tree climbing and bird shooting, she said proudly. I could climb the tallest trees. Whatever the boys did I did and they didn't like me, calling me nyonu nutsu ( girl-boy ) and other names of the sort. If I heard anyone call me such a name we fought. Sometimes i beat the offender and sometimes I got beaten. But i never minded being beaten up- i only had abuse from my mother, who said i troubled the boys too much, but a chief's daughter should not do that! (Photograph by Christian Gbagbo BAHA)
