Perhaps you have uncovered a freedom the world did not know existed. Or perhaps it is an old freedom rediscovered. Women were warriors, you know. In my mother's family there were stories about the women who rode and fought and were wizards in these skills. It's the Englishmen like to scorn or pity us now, pretending that we have always been weak when in fact we have always been strong.
