About
Jump to
Victoria "Abdaraya Toya" Montou (Circa 1739-1805) was a Dahomey in the Benin tribe (female soldier) and freedom fighter in the army of Jean-Jacques Dessalines during the Haitian Revolution. She was reportedly Dessalines's aunt. Toya was a slave in Henry Duclos estate. Toya Montou was not the only woman to serve in the Haitian army during the revolution. While most of the names of the female soldiers are forgotten, exceptions are Marie-Jeanne Lamartiniére, who served at the Battle of Crête-à-Pierrot, that took place from 4 March until 24 March 1802, and Sanité Belair.
