Women in the Warrior Tradition
What is a warrior? What female warrior archetypes and goddesses of battle do we know? Were women ever knights and warriors historically, and what are their stories? How have women warriors-in-spirit, who never touched a weapon, changed the world with their courage and vision? How can women today cultivate the qualities and strengths that we associate with the warrior archetype?
