War is a man's game-or so goes the standard wisdom. But from the beginning of recorded history, women have played an integral part in war: leaders to warriors, resistance fighters to resisters, providers-of-aid to aides-de-camp. This encyclopedia covers the entire range of women's role in war and battle.
