 WARRIOR WOMEN weaves science, mythology, and mystical cultures into a bold new historical tapestry of female  heroines and leaders who have been left out of the history books...until now. From China to Celtic lands, warriors, priestesses, and matriarchs come to life in this accessible and dramatic account of one archaeolgist's search for the truth. Davis-Kimball, a real-life Indiana Jones, recounts her exciting and dangerous career uncovering the real story behind Amazons, banshees, and mummies, an entire ancient class of courageous women who played vital and respected roles in their societies. What emerges is a thrilling and exotic adventure that stretches from Europe to Asia and a provocative re-examination of gender roles for the 21st century.   less
