Warrior Women An Archaeologist's Search for

The authors weave science, mythology, and mystical cultures into a bold new historical tapestry of female heroines and leaders who have been left out of the history books--until now. From China to Celtic lands, warriors, priestesses, and matriarchs come to life in this accessible and dramatic account of one archaeologist's search for the truth. 60 photos.

Jeannine Davis-Kimball, Ph.D., is the founder and executive director of the American-Eurasian Research Institute and the Center for the Study of Eurasian Nomads. She has appeared in episodes of Nova and Unsolved Mysteries, and on the learning Channel
