I have a book called Women Warlords by Tim Newark which discusses the Amazon legend. Graves of armed women have been found and his theory is that amongst a tribe called the Sarmatians (whose territory stretched from the Ukraine to Kazakhstan and down to the Cacausus Mountains), unmarried and presumably childless women were permitted to serve as warriors. Some women are likely to have opted to remain single so as to continue to serve as warriors and rulers.
