A classic example: Dance GIrl Dance (d. Dorothy Arzner) A recent interation: Bandidas with Salma Heyek and Penelope Cruz For women fighting (often with women) there's a very substantial Asian lineage of warrior women. Perhaps the best example of that would be Heroic Trio (Vastly superior to Crouching Tiger, IMHO) There are many recent articles and even books on the Warrior Woman ripe, easily researched with a Google search Many women in prison films have such sequences.
