ANST - Lady Fighters' Email List

Isolde, are you aware of House Ironrose, which has a list already set up for
this purpose?  House Ironrose is open to all ladies who fight and those who
work with, fight with, fight against, or teach lady fighters.

Ironrose is a big forum, several of the lady knights post there, and it has
a very good community for lady fighters of all types.

The reason I ask is that I'm not certain that there's enough people to support
two such lists.  Not to discourage you or anything, but just in case you weren't
aware that such a thing already was in existence...

Check it out.

The Ironrose Webpage is at:
http://www.peak.org/~grainne/Ironrose/

The webpage has a lot of useful information distilled from research sources
and from frequent discussions on-list.

The Ironrose Mailing List signup is at:

Also, don't miss getting your very own copy of Duchess Elina's *excellent* book
for lady fighters, "The Armored Rose" -- the ordering information is:

The Armored Rose is available for $15 + $2 S&H. Send check or money order (no
cash please) to: 

Tobi Beck
3417 Cederdale Dr.
San Jose, CA 95148

The book covers psychology, physiology, body chemistry and differences on the
field and how women can best make advantages out of those differences. It's
a must-have addition to any female fighter's library and a great aid to anyone
who trains or fights women. There are also extensive notes on understanding
women and the way they think and fight, almost certainly setting up nearly every
reader for at least a couple of "Oh that's why they do that.." moments. Also
included are "mini movies" (think of the flip books you did as a kid) to help
illustrate movements and blow throwing. Never before has so much information
on fighting women (both in the SCA and out of it) been assembled in one place.
