The nearest I think you'll get is female gladiatorial re-enactment.
Here's some info. (the group is based in the UK but I'm sure there'll be similar in the US) http://www.ludus.org.uk/r/essaywomen.html
If your lovely avatar is any indicator.. I'm certain I speak for many board members in saying that we would LOVE to see you in your amazon kit!
Thanks! :wink: I am really quite skinny (runners, ya know :? ? ?
Still, I am sorry that there aren't more women reenactment groups. I find this surprising, as when I was small it was me and the girls who played dress up, not the boys.
Thanks for the links! The information about the female gladiators was interesting and I must say, strange. Not that I am not about equality and all that, but when I tried Karate for a couple weeks I learned very quickly that I have no hope of fighting off anyone. Pepper spray is your friend...
Athena
Marat Marat its all in vain
You studied the body and probed the brain
In vain you spent your energies
for how can Marat cure his own disease
