| Summary | "Female Warriors, Vol. 2 (of 2)" by Ellen C. Clayton is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the stories of women who displayed valor and heroism throughout history, outlining their contributions and experiences in military contexts across various cultures and time periods. It aims to highlight these often-overlooked figures who challenged the gender norms of their eras by participating in warfare. At the start of the volume, the author recounts the lives of several remarkable female soldiers from different nations, including Captain Bodeaux, a French officer, and Christian Davies, known as Mother Ross, who enlisted in the British Army disguised as a man. The opening vividly illustrates the motivations behind women joining armed forces—ranging from the pursuit of adventure to following loved ones—often leading to remarkable feats in the face of severe adversity. Their stories are intercut with broader historical contexts, such as battles and revolutions, painting a comprehensive portrait of women's roles in military history that challenges prevailing stereotypes.
