This book challenges the notion that women are not warriors by presenting historical accounts of women who actively participated in combat. It delves into the lives of figures ranging from Viking shieldmaidens and African queens to cross-dressing military doctors and Russian fighter pilots of World War II. The narrative explores not only who these women were but also the reasons behind their involvement in conflict and the consequences of stepping outside traditional gender roles.
