Gender and violence: Picturing the woman warrior
Join Dr Sue Malvern as she traces the history of female fighters depicted in art, from the Amazons to the present day.

From the Amazons to contemporary artistic representations of military women, Sue will look back at the history of female fighters, showing that the woman warrior has an undeniable place in artistic imagery over time.
