History paints war out to be a man's business, but there is an army
of women warriors who stand between the lines of history books,
waiting to be seen. This biographical dictionary tells the story of
the females who armed themselves against threats to self, family,
home and country. Spanning 17 periods of world history, it compiles
the names and daring deeds of 1,622 female fighters, from Bronze
Age archers and Viking raiders, to helicopter pilots and commanders
of aircraft carriers. Entries summarize heroes such as the Old
Testament judge Deborah, Joan of Arc, Elizabeth I, Aisha, Mary
Spencer-Churchill, Calamity Jane, Cleopatra VII, Molly Pitcher,
Aung San Suu Kyi and-- surprisingly-- Julia Child. Along with the
famous stand the unheralded scrappers and risk-takers swept up in
fierce crises.
