Sword Women
It is interesting that the
creator of Conan and other barbarian heroes also could write both convincingly
and inspirationally about sword women,
but he did. As he got older, such characters became more common. A few items
are included that aren’t necessarily about Sword Women, but that I felt were
nonetheless important for consideration.
