They cast the banner for all womankind--Children of privilege,
they could lead pampered lives in royal palaces, be bartered in marriage
alliances to distant courts, or take refuge within the cloistered halls of
a religous order. But instead the choose to defend their lands, their
people, their families, and their freedom, prefering armor to ball
gowns, the art of war to the art of love, and the councils of rulers to
more "ladylike" pursuits,
From a young woman burdened with the responsiblity for a magical
sword...to a pharaoh's daughter gifted by the gods...to the most
unusual reincarnation of Arthur...to a barbarian princess who can
outbargain an Empress--here are all-original tales of powerful women
ready to fight for what they believe in, unforgettable yarns by such top fantasists
as Morgan Llywelyn, Jane Yolen, and Elizabeth Moon.
