Ukrainian Women-warriors
French photojournalist Guillaume Herbaut met some amazons in the Ukrainian city of Lviv.
Young girls from the ethnic sport club Asgarda are being taught a kind of martial art based on hopak - the national dance of Ukraine - as well as using different kinds of cold weapon, ethnic musical instruments and rhetorics (in case if none of the above will help).
In Ukraine a woman was always a guardian, protector, and priestess. She had the knowledge of medicine, treatment of illnesses, medicinal herbs, and laws of nature, universe, and religion. She was able to sing, dance, play musical instruments, and write poetry and songs. She knew astronomy and astrology. She was not only a hostess, not only a woman who does washing, embroidering, cooking, and looking after children, she was also a Goddess.
