About this book
Discovering a Lack of Female Protagonists
When she was a child, the author of When Women Were Warriors found a distinct lack of female protagonists in the stories she read. While she enjoyed tales of male heroes seeking their fortunes, she longed for a story with a strong female lead. Frustrated by the absence of such narratives, she decided to create one herself.
A Warrior’s Journey Begins
In Book I of the When Women Were Warriors trilogy, readers are introduced to Tamras as she embarks on her apprenticeship as a warrior in Merin’s house. Despite her determination, Tamras faces skepticism due to her small stature. The Lady Merin assigns her the role of companion to a mysterious woman who arrived at the household during the previous winter—a role that offers little prestige.
Unlikely Allies and Challenging Relationships
As Tamras navigates her new responsibilities, she forms an unlikely bond with the enigmatic stranger who initially rebuffs her. The dynamics between the characters evolve, revealing complexities and conflicts that drive the narrative forward. While the backdrop of a warrior’s training echoes tales of legendary heroes like Beowulf, the inclusion of female characters adds depth and dimension to the story.
Empowering Representation in Fiction
With When Women Were Warriors, the author achieves her goal of showcasing a female protagonist in a traditionally male-dominated genre. Through Tamras’s journey, readers witness the resilience, courage, and strength of a woman overcoming societal expectations and self-doubt. The narrative not only challenges gender norms but also celebrates the power and potential of women in storytelling.
Conclusion: A Fresh Take on a Classic Genre

The trilogy’s blend of adventure, self-discovery, and complex relationships creates a captivating narrative that resonates with readers of all backgrounds.
