A list of female warriors

I've always been fascinated by female warriors. Just about every corner of history will turn out to have a few, or a lot, even in highly sexist societies. As a consequence, it's by no means ahistorical for your fantasy epic to feature a badass female warrior. (Unless you give her a metal bikini.)

I started compiling a list for the Planet Construction Kit but decided it wasn't really appropriate for the book, so I'm putting it here. It's by no means intended to be exhaustive— Wikipedia has a list that goes on for pages.
