    Missing the greatest national hero from my country (Indonesia) "Nyak Dhien". A great woman who led the resistance/guerilla actions against the invader (the Dutch colonial for 25 years (1878-1903). Losses so many battle because The Dutchs were much stronger at that time but she never give up, freedom or died. That's the motto.

      I was rather disappointed at the omission of Queen Penthesileia, who had the cojones to engage Achilles himself in single combat. Granted, hers is more legend than sober history - like Queen Thalestris, who was said to have enticed Alexander the Great to lie with her in hopes of producing a superior offspring. 😳

    Fans of heroic fantasy who admire strong women would do well to seek out two anthological volumes put out by DAW SF Books and edited by Jessica Amanda Salmonson (*Amazons* in 1979, and *Amazons II* in 1982). She wrote introductions to both volumes detailing many historical examples of the fighting female, and I believe has published an entire amazonic biographical dictionary of her own. 🤩

    Wow this was a year ago. About time warrior women and women in general have recognition. Though not a warrior in terms of physical combat, Deborah, wife of Lappidoth, from the Bible was both the prophet and the judge of the entirety of Israel during her time and when an army officer (Barak),ignoring the word God gave to him through her, said he will only fight if she would go with Israels army. She agreed and told him, despite only the soldiers fighting during the battle, that the victory will be at the hands of a woman. The story of Deborah starts in Judges chapter 4 and ends in chapter 5.

    I may be Male, but I respect and treat all women as men's equals. Now that I'm older and a little bit wiser, I have a better understanding for and realize that stereotypes are something to be abolished. It used to be that I admired figures like Julius Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte because I was mesmerized by their power and influence. But I see now, the respect they commanded was through fear. I now idolize the underdogs like Frederick Douglass and the civil rights movement, as well as the warrior women throughout history. Let this be my record for the changing times and the ideals I continue to believe in.
