THE AMAZONS by Adrienne MayorRead about another book on the list.
A comprehensive guide to the myth and reality of Amazon women. Mayor is a very accessible author but backs it up with acute scholarship. Ferocious warrior women really did exist in the Caucasus area and she reminds us that truth can be stranger than fiction.
The Amazons is among Nicole Hill's five top books about actual badass women who ruled kingdoms.
