As I recall in that book the women didn't do any of the fighting, and the female protaganist was an offworlder who was at first regarded as somewhat strange for riding out with the all-male fighting unit. More the _exceptional-woman_ syndrome than part of an Amazon environment.

He has learned to communicate with them using body language they understand, not words. It involves the way he faces them the way he uses his hands with the fingers open or closed which he says reflects to them a big cat with outstretched claws. I don't think a person's ability to communicate with animals is necessarily "sweet". I think it's an instance of our species learning to be open to the differences of other species. Marie-Josephe had what we think of as the renaissance open mind that allowed her to see connections that other more materialistic minded of her contemporaries never even thought about. This ties her in well with super sleepless, super intelligent characters in the book for next month's discussion, Beggars in Spain. We're on an intellectual roll here.
