Description

David E. Jones (au). Takes the reader back through history & around the world to uncover a clear pattern of women as warriors. This account of the female martial heritage provides a fascinating comment on the nature of gender, on the power of the warrior image, & on the image’s source in history. Jones sought references that purport to be historical as opposed to mythological texts. Most cases cited are, in fact, derived from sources considered legitimate by modern Western historians. All accounts show that from the beginning women shared the qualitative experience of the warrior; everything men have ever done in warfare, women have also done, &, in many instance, they have done it better.
