In the Ukraine, a country where females are victims of sexual  trafficking and gender oppression, a new tribe of empowered women is  emerging. Calling themselves the “Asgarda”, the women seek complete  autonomy from men. Residing in the Carpathian Mountains, the tribe is  comprised of 150 women of varying ages, primarily students, led by 30  year-old Katerina Tarnouska. Reviving the tribal traditions of the  Scythian Amazons of ancient Greek mythology, the Asgarda train in  martial arts, taught by former Soviet karate master, Volodymyr  Stepanovytch, and learn life skills and sciences in order to become  ideal women. Little physical documentation existed on the tribe, until  recently, when renowned French photographer, Guillaume Herbaut, met the  Asgarda back in 2004 in the midst of the Orange Revolution.

How ironic. During that time in 2004 I was writing a story about the origins of the amazon women
