So George Clemenceau, then major of Montmartre, recalled the women of the Paris Commune who manned the barricades at France's republican uprising of 1871. Fighting to the last under a relentless bombardment as government troops stormed the city, they died like men too. History has seen many such acts of courage, daring and self-sacrifice by women like these. These traits are to be found today, in the opening years of the 21st century, in such women as US Army helicopter pilot Major Tammy Duckworth, who lost both her legs when her Black Hawk was shot down in Iraq in 2004; and Colonel Martha McSally who flew A-10 ground-attack missions in Afghanistan and became the first woman to command a United States Air Force combat squadron. Popular author Rosalind Miles and acclaimed military historian Robin Cross paint vivid portraits of the lives of over 100 extraordinary women across 3,000 years of history. Ranging from the the "killer queen" Boudicca who wreaked brutal vengeance on the Roman Empire for insults against her family and her tribe, to modern-day warrior queens such as Golda Meir and Margaret Thatcher, and from the British master spy Virginia Hall, to Second World War air ace Hanna Reitsch, Warrior Women restores women's deeds in wartime to their rightful place of honor and prominence. It is a fitting testament to all those women who have ever gone to war and who even now take up arms in the battle-scarred places of the world. Nº de ref. del artículo: 200265
