It's not often I find something this coincidental. Loved ancient and medieval history for as long as I can remember, and I've especially liked the stories demonstrating women played a role just as important as men (whether martial, statecraft, etc). So, seeing photo sets of women actively participating in historical (authentic or creative [creative to a point; fantasy LARP crosses the line in my opinion]) reenacting is something pretty awesome. May also not be a surprise Brave is one of my favorite Pixar movies. What made this particular set stand out to me among many others was it's the first one I've seen crediting Patrick Thaden, whom I had the pleasure of meeting many years ago shortly before he moved to a bigger shop. I've since lost track of my contacts in the smithing fields, so it's incredibly awesome to see he's still working.
OMG THE WHOLE SET HAS SET MY SOUL AFLAME

Draw nigh, come through the press to grips with me, so shall ye learn what might wells up in breasts of Amazons. With my blood is mingled war!
Queen Penthesilea, in Quintus Smyrnaeusâ The Fall of Troy
Quoted in Wonder Woman: Warbringer
It is now a race against the the clock for the hero to get there before this guy's wife wrecks the place committing war crimes or whatever.
You were kidnapped by a villain and he gloats about how youâre bait for his arch-nemesis, and youâll be dead soon. You sigh and just look at him. âBuddy, its not that hero you need to worry aboutâŚ.its my wife.â and he looks at you perplexed.
Practical, not sexist or supposed-to-look-hot female armor which actually protects you.
