Why do women always have to be victims? Why can't they be heroes or villains sometimes?

Do you mean in stories by men, or do you mean women in general?

Why can't they be heroes or villains sometimes?

arent i both?

anyway, the story of moremi is also there.

she went from victim to hero then back to victim again.

Queen Boudica,an english tribal queen that took on the roman invaders and occupiers of england in 62AD was a villain in the eyes of the roman and a heroine in the eyes the native english.

But tpia is a strife.

They weren't known as English then oh, they weren't even Anglo Saxon which means that she would be more related to the Welsh.

They weren't called english then,they were called iceni tribe but it still connected the same day english people not welsh

The English are mostly Anglo Saxon, that tribe of Boadicea is Celtic. Even the name English is from Anglisc which is from the Anglo Saxon Germanic tribe that invaded Britain hundreds of years after Boadicea. The Welsh are still Celtic so that's why they will be more related.

Good point.  But even in stories by women, men tend to be the primary actors. 
Women just react and have things done to them. Female characters who act end up disgraced.

it's a man's world anyway but there might be different stories somewhere.

@ OP, I think your account is basically correct.


This version:

http://christiemack..com/2009/07/princess-adesuwa.html

goes into detail and the ruler who killed her was from Agbor, which is in the Igbo area of Delta state, but I think the account is inaccurate as the ruler who killed her is remembered as actually being from Ubulu Uku, which is distinct from Agbor. Also she was not a daughter of the Oba, but instead a daughter of the Ezomo.



@ Seun,

In Benin history, Queen Idia, Emotan, and Princess Adesuwa are heroines. Also, the goddess Igbaghon is a kind of heroine.

Here are some others:

madam tinubu of lagos was a slave trader who amended her ways.

So the case to solve the murder of Princess Adesuwa is still open.

unsolve mysteries

Roflmao

^ The guy had been really bothered about her murder and decided to reopen 100+ year old case.

Besides whoever killed her is probably also dead by now.

The thickest fog of the black race is having a vague and deluded picture of the past,not wanting to take the pain and time to find out what it was really like,going only by what oyinbos says it was.

You cannot understand the present and the future without understanding the past.
