CBC Showcase: From the Ancient World
Can woman conquer man? This book of love and war emphasizes the determination of Amazon women warriors and what they did to protect their land.
written and illustrated by Tamara Bower
Queen Serpot rules the Land of Women, where the Amazon women live free, without men, and hunt and fight their own battles. But one day their peace is broken. An army of Egyptian soldiers is approaching their land, led by their prince, Pedikhons.
Pedikhons has heard stories of these warrior women. Now he has come to see them with his own eyes—and to challenge them to combat. But the brave Serpot and her women are full of surprises. Can woman truly equal man in strength and courage?
