Thesis (M.A.)

Includes bibliographical references

A combination of cross-cultural and symbolic methodologies suggests that women warriors occur in societies where there is both an emphasis on the sacred feminine that allows women greater access to positions of power and authority (as per Peggy Sanday) and where marital residency rules permit female fighters (following David B. Adams's theory on women warriors). While neither theory can stand alone in explaining the existence of women warriors, when combined both theories give a solid picture of societies that allow for female combatants. In this paper I propose that by combining Sanday's work on female power and Adams's work on women warriors we can come to a better understanding about just what makes the cultures that allow for women's participation in warfare unique, and perhaps what characteristics must be in place in order for a culture to have women warriors.
