This Artist’s Illustrations Show Every Type of Woman Can Be a Warrior

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!

I’m a big fan.

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

11. If only my arms looked like that.

The juxtaposition of her holding a bunny is amazing.

But you can both kick a$$ if need be.
