Marvel found inspiration in history when it used tales of West African women warriors as the basis for the fearsome Dora Milaje in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

The fictional, fearsome, and all-female Dora Milaje in the movie Black Panther: Wakanda Forever were inspired by a real group of African warriors: the Agojie. Nat Geo contributing writer Rachel Jones shares the history of the Agojie and discusses the way that movies and pop culture can shape our understanding of the world.
