Who says women don't go to war? From Vikings and African queens to cross-dressing military doctors and WWII Russian fighter pilots, these are the stories of women for whom battle was not a metaphor. The woman warrior is always cast as an anomaly--Joan of Arc, not GI Jane. But women, it turns out, have always gone to war. In this fascinating and lively world history, Pamela Toler not only introduces us to women who took up arms, she also shows why they did it and what happened when they stepped out of their traditional female roles to take on other identities. These are the stories of women who fought because they wanted to, because they had to, or because they could. Among the warriors you'll meet are: * Tomyris, ruler of the Massagetae, who killed Cyrus the Great of Persia when he sought to invade her lands* The West African ruler Amina of Hausa, who led her warriors in a campaign of territorial expansion for more than 30 years
* Boudica, who led the Celtic tribes of Britain into a massive rebellion against the Roman Empire to avenge the rapes of her daughters
* The Trung sisters, Trung Trac and Trung Nhi, who led an untrained army of 80,000 troops to drive the Chinese empire out of Vietnam
* The Joshigun, a group of 30 combat-trained Japanese women who fought against the forces of the Meiji emperor in the late 19th century
* Lakshmi Bai, Rani of Jhansi, who was regarded as the "bravest and best" military leader in the 1857 Indian Mutiny against British rule
* Maria Bochkareva, who commanded Russia's first all-female battalion--the First Women's Battalion of Death--during WWII
* Buffalo Calf Road Woman, the Cheyenne warrior who knocked General Custer off his horse at the Battle of Little Bighorn
* Juana Azurduy de Padilla, a mestiza warrior who fought in at least 16 major battles against colonizers of Latin America and who is a national hero in Bolivia and Argentina today
* And many more spanning from ancient times through the 20th century. By considering the ways in which their presence has been erased from history, Toler reveals that women have always fought--not in spite of being women but because they are women.

Yes!
Scent: Fragrance-Free - Standard Size
Clean baby products that work well! So far we’ve loved everything Tubby Todd! It’s on the more expensive side, but totally worth it when considering products used on babies.

Fantastic natural ingredients, but the diaper cream falls short on actual rashes.
Scent: Lavender Rosemary - Standard Size
I purchased the Tubby Todd Baby Skin Care Bundle because I really value that it uses great all-natural ingredients and is free of harsh chemicals. For the most part, I’ve been very happy with the quality.
What I loved:
The Ingredients: It feels great using products that are clean and safe for baby skin.
Hair + Body Wash: The soap/shampoo combo is gentle and works well.
All Over Ointment: This is a staple; it’s excellent for dry skin and general moisturizing.
The downside:
I had to dock one star specifically for the Diaper Paste. While I wanted to love it, it just didn't help when my baby had an actual diaper rash. It might be fine for prevention, but it wasn't effective for treatment.
I eventually switched to A+D Diaper Rash Cream, and it completely cured the rashes in no time.
Verdict:
I would still recommend this bundle for the shampoo and the All Over Ointment, but I suggest keeping a tube of A+D on hand for when you need heavy-duty rash relief.

WILL USE NOTHING ELSE
Scent: Fragrance-Free - Standard Size
Cannot recommend these products enough. My girls have sensitive skin and eczema. Dry patches, gone after a day with the everyday ointment. Eczema break out, gone the next day after applying twice. Diaper cream is the only cream I use when the diaper rash is bad and nothing else works. I try to use sparingly as it is more on the pricier side, so use only when I see a rash starting and not everyday use, but easily could if not worried about the price point. The soap is the only soap we have used. Last a long time, I have twin girls and we just finished our first container of soap that lasted us 5 months.

Great sunscreen, easy to use and absorbs well
I would recommend this product because it's super easy to apply and doesn't leave a greasy feeling. The SPF 50 gives good sun protection, and it feels lightweight on my face. Plus, it's hydrating thanks to the hyaluronic acid. Definitely a good choice for daily use, and I like that it doesn't clog pores.
