<H2>A list of female warriors</H2>

I've always been fascinated by female warriors.  Just about every corner of history will turn out to have a few, or a lot, even in highly sexist societies.   As a consequence, it's by no means ahistorical for your fantasy epic to feature a badass female warrior.  (Unless you give her a metal bikini.)  

<p>I started compiling a list for the <a href="pck.html"><i>Planet Construction Kit</i></a> but decided it wasn't really appropriate for the book, so I'm putting it here.  It's by no means intended to be exhaustive&#8212; Wikipedia has <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Women_in_war_by_century">a list</a> that goes on for pages.
