From both sides.
_Salamander_ is partly about that--about women as mages in a society
where the traditional view was that women's magic was an entirely
different, and less high status, thing than men's magic. No women
warriors however.
Although I do have one character comment that:
³I concede your lady's skill with magery. Also that, despite
appearances, she is probably the most dangerous person in this castle
...."
As it happens, he's wrong--but that's because he doesn't know who else
is in the castle.
