Strong Female Characters…who carry guns

I think that in book 2 of Wrathful Empathies (working title “The 14th Colony”)  I will introduce some new female characters that are as capable of violence as Mosby’s Men and The Kindred.   The realization came to me that eventually characters like Zoa will stop running and turn to fight.  Either they will be cornered or just pissed off enough to pick up a gun.  Additionally, my research for images of Partisans to insert into my blog posts kept showing results of historical photos of female bands of fighters all over Europe during World War II and some current Kurdish female fighters in Syria.  At first, I thought the above picture could be used for Mosby’s Men but on closer inspection, I realized these fighters were female.  Reading the caption, I found out that this image is from a Romanian movie about a female group of partisans.  Not what I want for my daughters but I need to recognize historical facts and represent accordingly.
