Amazon Origins (ePub)

At some point as a child living in London, England, key historic figures such as Briton’s Boudicca and France’s Joan of Arc would be read in school, some with more interest than others. However, the author was fascinated by these strong unique women and continued to read further into strong women as far back as ancient Egypt’s Hatshepsut and Cleopatra, to England’s Queen Elizabeth I. During her reading, she came across the famous Amazons, a group of warrior women whose name is a derivative from Greek mythology, but allegedly the women came from what is now modern-day Turkey, who refused to kowtow to the supremacy of men and were both admired and vilified for their defiance, inspiring a lifelong interest in these legendary women. There is no genesis for the origins of the Amazons, but while volunteering in a women’s center near where she lived and training to become a mental health nurse, the author began to meet women and see how life experiences can shape them and change them forever, whether for better or worse, depending on that woman, and this inspired the author to wonder just what would give enough cause for a group of women to abscond from the life that had been laid out for them and become the legendary Amazons we know so little about today. Incorporating life experiences and her knowledge about cognition and behaviors, which are both innate and learned through life experiences.
