Have you ever thought about why the image of a lady warrior so much stirs the mind? Someone may feel patriarchal anger and indignation, someone — curiosity and even persistent attraction related to this image. The thing is that a lady warrior is not just a woman who, according to circumstances, had to take a sword in her hands. This is a powerful archetype.

The image of a lady warrior, actively participating in the battle, did not appear in our days under the influence of feminist movements. A woman is quite capable not only to create a salad, a hat or a scandal, she also can protect herself and her land, and even lead the whole army.

A warrior woman is independent and strong, she achieves her goals, serves the good of the Motherland and the people. She is the opposite of the capricious princess, a typical role created within the framework of the traditional patriarchal system.

The most famous female warriors are the Amazons. But the history is not limited with just one example — there were many other ideas about female warriors. But what made people constitute legends about women going into battle instead of being protected by men?

We do not know the answer to this question, but without a doubt, the image of a lady warrior is an excellent example of courage and bravery in our culture.
