Here is a glimps of history about warrior women…
Onna-musha isJapanese for warrior women.
There were some of them in Ancient Japan.
Usually, if Samurai women did fight, it was in defense of their towns and castles. And usually when most of the able-bodied men were away in battle.
But there definatly were warrior women in Japan, and the current stigma of Oriental women being weak and passive is definatly not a correct label.
They are women just like every other part of the world, with the same likelyhood to have warrior women in their midst as any other society. And indeed, their past illustrates this well.
Whether or not they lead many battles, they knew how to fight and kill, and did so when they felt it was neccessary.
Traditionally, Samurai women fought with the na-gi-na-ta (a spear with a curved blade) or the kai-ken (a dagger).
However, one of the most famous Samurai women, Tomoe Gozen, was a peerless sword-fighter and archer instead.
More information on her coming up.

I’m glad that most of the people here are really clever, and are fun to talk, because we have a lot in common. Here I can express myself, share different information, have gun, enjoy communication. Some people here are angry, but why, guys? Make friends, be nice, share what you think, and you won’t feel lonely anymore!
