Description
Forgotten Warriors: A History of Women on the Front Line
Battlefields have long been dominated by men, but women's roles in warfare are often overlooked. This book sheds new light on the history of female fighters, from ancient armies to modern-day conflicts.
From the all-female Mino army that protected Dahomey for two centuries, to the Soviet Night Witches who decimated the Nazis, Sarah Percy reveals the stories of extraordinary women who refused to be passive victims. Their heroic and compelling tales are finally being heard.
