Joan of Arc was a warrior in a strong patriarchal society. There are exceptions for most things.

The 3rd link down in the group is done by a man who is with the Smithsonian....He says in his story at the link this about her death....I think you should just call the man at the Smithsonian, and talk to him....WHO KNOWS where that might lead you....You are so good, I think the Smithsonian needs to know about you too!

>>>>> Snip…..Weasel Tail told me the story of Running Eagle, most famous of all Blackfoot women warriors, who was killed in action about the time of Weasel Tail’s birth in 1860. He had known several older men who had been members of war parties under Running Eagle’s leadership, and they often had talked about her. One of these men was White Grass, who later became a prominent band chief among the Piegans, a Blackfoot tribe. <<<<snip

I have a book, Dreaming The Eagle, which is a fictional account of a warrior woman who really existed, Boudica. It was very interesting. She sounds very similar to this Brown Weasel Woman.

She was a first-century Celt. amazon.com
