The proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Arts and Humanities at the University of Cyprus offer a rich and multifaceted examination of women’s roles in warfare, spanning from mythological figures like the Amazons to contemporary armed conflicts. The introduction by Umberto Mondini compellingly challenges traditional gendered narratives that have long confined warfare to a male domain, highlighting women's diverse and active participation throughout history. By bridging ancient myths, biblical accounts, and modern realities, the conference underscores how women have been both visible and invisible agents in conflict, shaping military history and societal norms alike. Contributions such as Paride Bollettin’s analysis of Indigenous women’s epistemic resistance enrich this discourse by connecting gender, colonialism, and knowledge production. Ada Prisco’s exploration of pacifism and women’s religious agency further broadens the understanding of female roles beyond combat, emphasizing moral and spiritual resistance. Giuseppe De Spirito’s study of St. Euphemia and Roberta Ceolin’s portrayal of Phoolan Devi add layers of religious and socio-political complexity, illustrating how female figures embody resilience and challenge oppression. Overall, the conference proceedings present a vital re-evaluation of women’s multifarious engagements with warfare, resistance, and power, urging scholars and society to recognize and integrate these narratives into broader historical and cultural frameworks. This work not only enriches academic inquiry but also contributes to ongoing struggles for gender equality and justice in both historical and contemporary contexts.
