اډ୍ରੀ మేయర్ (Adrienne Mayor) جیسی کوئی اور مصنفہ قدیم تاریخ اور آثار قدیمہ میں اس طرح جان نہیں پھونک سکتیں۔ روسی میدانوں سے لے کر چین تک، اور رومی مصر و عرب سے لے کر ایٹروسکن (Etruscans) تک، وہ قاری کو افسوں میں چھپی حقیقی قدیم جنگجو خواتین کی سنسنی خیز تلاش پر لے جاتی ہیں—ان کی جرأت، تیر اندازی، ٹیٹو، شاندار گھوڑے، اور مردوں کی غلامی سے آزادی۔ یہ کتاب اپنی بھرپور معلومات، دلکش اسلوب اور خوبصورت تصویروں کے باعث ایک سحر انگیز مطالعہ بن جاتی ہے۔
Nobody brings ancient history and archaeology to life like Adrienne Mayor. From the Russian steppes to China, and from Roman Egypt and Arabia to the Etruscans, she leads the reader on a breathtaking quest for the real ancient warrior women reflected in myths--their daring, archery, tattoos, fine horses, and independence from male control. The book's rich erudition, communicated in sparkling prose and beautiful illustrations, makes it a riveting read.
