Avatars for Uppity Women

Classical Amazons and Goddesses Who Don't Take Guff

Here's a selection of icons made from images of classical sculpture and art; the ones 'stolen' shamelessly from original art have credit-links at the bottom of this page (except for the silver equestrian statue, I couldn't find the site again for that one).  Images of the real Amazons of classical times aren't easy to find, so I hope this helps.
