A Website that covers the History of Female Fighting and Combat

I had bookmarked a very comprehensive and interesting website on the subject of female fighting and female combat.

The website goes by the name of the "Female Single Combat Club":

Here is the introductory of how they describe what they do at their website:

This is "Female Single Combat Club", the only web resource covering all types of female combative activities as particular cases of one phenomenon.  Combat sports, combative shows, entertaining contests, street fighting, staged fighting in movies and TV shows. Interviews, artworks, poems, humor and many more...

And, to make things even more valuable, they offer their webpages not only in English, but in Russian as well.

You can find them on the web at:
http://www.fscclub.com

Here are direct links to the sections covering the history of female combat.   These links go directly to the English pages. Feel free to find these entries yourself at their website or simply open a new tab on each of the links below to go directly to the stated webpage.

** These sections created here are not labeled as such on the FSS website.  I simply made my own sectioning to make things easier to find and reference for new and current fans of this genre.**
