Summary: Inspiring!
Comment: This is a fantastically diverse collection of stories reaching from the Far East to the New World and stretching back to the most ancient of times. Mayer gives historical background where appropriate and includes a full bibliography for further study. I learned about an entirely new civilization in this book (and I was an archaeology major in college!) as well as enriched my knowledge of others more well known.
Not all of the women in this collection are known for deeds worth emulating, but good or bad, each one fights with passion for what they believe in. The fervor of their actions surrounds them with a mystical quality that allows them to accomplish what would otherwise seem impossible.
These stories inspire me to think what amazing things I could accomplish if only I fight for my beliefs with passion. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Women Warriors: Myths and Legends of Heroic Women
Comment: Fewer myths and goddesses and more real people would have better suited the needs of this school. However, the book is wonderful. Stories are well told with brief introductions that place the story in a correct time frame. Contains excellent illustrations in this folklore book. Recommended for students from the 6th grade up, as well as the teachers and parents.
