Images of Women Archers: Modern

“Mongolian woman competing in an archery contest at the Nadaam festival in Ulan Bator.”

From: Davis-Kimball, J., and M. Behan. 2002. Warrior Women: An Archaeologist’s Search for History’s Hidden Heroines. New York, NY: Warner Books.

[Not an impressively scholarly book, but still, loads of fun. Ask to borrow my tape of a PBS "Secrets of the Dead" episode about Davis-Kimball and her work, including the grave of what is unmistakably a princess warrior!]
