https://www.quora.com/...sides-the-Amazonians Some great stories from diverse cultures and time periods: 1. They were known as the Oiorpata (Oy-or-pah-tah) [Literally translates to: man/human - killers/beaters]. They were an off-shoot of the Scythes. They settled near the Terme river, and their queendom, Themyskyra, still exists today as the modern city of Samsun in Turkey. 2. There was an all-female military regime in the kingdom of Dahomey, a affluent state/governance in the Benin empire. Dahomey had a fierce caste system. And part of their defensive military/national guard was an all woman force of musketeers called “the Mino”. 3. Without one single doubt the warrior princess “Khutulun”. She makes the fictional “Zena” look like a prepubescent private school girl. 4. One of the most famous was Lozen, sister of the Chiricahua Apache leader Victorio. Another was Dahteste, a close friend of Lozen’s, who took part in many raids 5. Belawadi Mallamma and her army of 2000 warrior women. 6. Boudicca, Boudicea, also known as Boadicea /boʊdᵻˈsiːə/ and in Welsh as Buddug [ˈbɨ̞ðɨ̞ɡ]) AD 60 or 61) was a queen of the British Celtic Iceni tribe who led an uprising against the occupying forces of the Roman Empire. 7. Joan of Arc has been portrayed. 8. Shield Maidens - Examples of shield-maidens mentioned by name in the Norse sagas include Brynhildr in the Vǫlsunga saga, Hervor in Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks, the Brynhildr of the Bósa saga ok Herrauðs, and the Swedish princess Thornbjǫrg in Hrólfs saga Gautrekssonar. Princess Hed, Visna, Lagertha and Veborg are female warriors named in Gesta Danorum. Saxo Grammaticus[6] reported that women fought on the side of the Danes at the Battle of Brávellir in the year 750: Now out of the town of Sle, under the captains Hetha (Heid) and Wisna, with Hakon Cut-cheek came Tummi the Sailmaker. On these captains, who had the bodies of women, nature bestowed the souls of men. Webiorg was also inspired with the same spirit, and was attended by Bo (Bui) Bramason and Brat the Jute, thirsting for war. Some of these examples have been the object of Hollywood however, too often the stories are inaccurate. But, at least they attempt to tell stories based on real characters without drastically changing well loved characters....i.e. Snow White for example.
