Description: Wherever there is war, there has often been a woman at the helm. Later ages frequently wrote these women out of history, but their stories have refused to die. Presenting an array of fascinating and sometimes little known women war leaders, Rosalind Miles and Robin Cross do justice to the achievements of these women.
