Amazon feminism is dedicated to the image of the female hero in fiction and in fact, as expressed in the physiques and feats of female athletes, martial artists and other powerfully-built women in society, art and literature. Camille Paglia's interpretation of the "Uranian Aphrodite" is a good example of Amazon feminism. The origin of the term "Amazon feminism" can be traced to several sources, including Thomas Gramstad. The name itself makes reference to the Amazons, a nation of warrior women from Greek mythology.
