Ferocious Female Warriors

Although women may not be at first implicitly imagined when talking of warriors, they are less far from our thoughts when it comes to ferocity. Pop culture bombards us with ferocious female stereotypes that may do more harm than good when looking at females in power, as stereotypes are rarely sourced from reality.The truth of the matter is relatively simple, women have been fighting alongside their men ever since the first hominids walked upright, and likely earlier than that.In this edition of the Eclectic Collection, it is hoped that you are introduced to some truly fascinating faces from history. These women fought both physically and metaphorically, some are warriors on the battlefield, others are warriors of society. The one thing that ties them together is their ferocity; they never let go.
