There are not enough words for me to say how much I enjoyed this book. It's filled with mentions of characters that have been neglected by other historians and accurate facts that support this idea that women are connected to the very core of war not just as bounty and victims, but as strong political and social figures. I loved it! Great for research purposes or even if you're just looking for a book that will leave you smarter than you were before reading it.

An enjoyable look at Women at war, which is a subject that’s been neglected by historians in the past. However this is also more of a look at women in the classical world as a whole, so perhaps the title is somewhat misleading.
