QUEEN FURRA Vanguard of the Viragoes

    • History

Speaking of nontraditional femininities, this week’s virago is a leader who reversed all gender roles and ruled with an iron fist. Furra was the queen of the women and the enslaver of men.

Queen Furra was the extreme leader of an ancient kingdom. She valued the lives of women over men so much that she took away men’s rights and to this day, when people pass her grave, the men beat the ground in anger while the women pour milk and sing her praises. Chatting with me is this week’s hero-  the mighty Zenzele Cooper. 

*TRIGGER WARNING*
This episode contains sounds of war. You may hear rapid gunfire, weeping, explosions, intense gore, general violence, screaming, babies crying, blood gushing, and/ or sirens.
