This Map Shows What People Think Is the Worst City in Each State

Women are warriors, both in the actual and metaphorical senses of the word. All of us, even if we don’t look like Gal Gadot or Xena or Charlize Theron most days – which is exactly what illustrator Yael Nathan wants to show with her new series.

Big, small, old, young, we can all make a difference – just like the women in these 15 photos.

15. Just wear your backpack, little dog.

She’s carrying that big sword!

14. And with a daemon no less.

I’m a big fan.

13. This is pretty much a flawless drawing.

The woman, the cat looking at the audience. *chef’s kiss*

12. The hair and the fierce expression.

Like wine and cheese, my friends.

I got inspired by @rachel_maksy ‘s latest video for this warrior. Love her choice of hairstyle along with the breastplate 🤩 #womenwarriors #illustration #procreate #procreateart

The juxtaposition of her holding a bunny is amazing.

Like every woman everywhere. Except for the polite bit.
