The K.A. Timiryazev State Biological Museum invites you to a popular science dialogue dedicated to the image of female warriors in history and culture. For centuries, the theme of Amazons and Valkyries straddled the line between myth and reality, but modern archaeological discoveries and analytical methods confirm that women did indeed participate in battles and hold significant positions in military hierarchies throughout history.

Participants will learn about evidence of female warriors in various cultures, discuss the origins of this phenomenon, and the historical circumstances that prompted women to take up arms.

To participate, you must purchase an entrance ticket to the museum.
