Images of Women Archers: Modern

"A nineteenth-century engraving of a female of the Arawak Indians from the West Indies. The bow, for hunting and warfare, was normally reserved for the exclusive use of the men of the tribe and it is rare to find females carrying this weapon. Occasionally, as in South America, female Indians together with children use the bow for fishing."
