The book Grandes guerreras de la historia (Great warriors of history), by Jesús Barranco Reyes, is a work that moves away from the solemn and academic tone to approach readers in a casual style with a touch of acid humor.
Barranco Reyes narrates the wanderings, misadventures and achievements of historical female figures who challenged the conventions of their time, facing challenges both on the battlefield and in society.
From the fierce Witches of the Night of the 588 Regiment to the mythical Joan of Arc, through the fearsome Boudica and the intrepid Florence Nightingale, the author presents warriors and fighters from different eras, cultures and contexts.
Through an accessible and entertaining approach, the book not only recounts the exploits of these great warriors, but also includes images, indicative maps and a small glossary that explains terms related to the warlike and cultural contexts of each era. All this, narrated with the same irreverent and valorative tone that characterized the previous book of the author, Grandes liadas de la historia (Great confusion of history), which makes this work a unique work to know, in amena way, the history of these heroic women.
