Women have been successfully fighting in combat roles since the
beginning of time. During Michael G. Lewis's research, he discovered
women warriors in nearly every century, country, and culture. Their
differences are many *--some were queens, some prostitutes, some fought
for country, others for religion, while others were motivated by blind
loyalty, bloodlust, fame, revenge, and even plain old fashioned greed.
Yes, their differences are many, but they are more defined by striking
similarities--all were smart, stubborn, almost supernaturally brave,
and extraordinary. Their stories are inspiring but also chilling. Their
exploits tragic, triumphant, awe inspiring, and even humorous. But their
stories are unknown. These women warriors--these "Band of Sisters," as
it were--*had far reaching effects on the entire world, and their
stories deserve to be told.
