Yes, woman warriors existed, and some of the greek amazon pottery & textiles specifically depicted women wearing Scythian or Sauramation garb, armed with bows and riding on horseback. Archeologist Davis-Kimball has discovered female burials out in the Asian steppes with arrowheads and horse-riding equipment. There are other woman-warrior burials found in Thrace (ancient Bulgaria) who wore beautifully designed snake-covered calf-guards & arm guards. These are the areas where the nomadic Sauramations & Scythians roamed. 'Amazon' city-states were supposed to have existed at one point in ancient Turkey and dual-queenship (one warrior queen & one priestess queen) was known in Crete.

PBS even made a show on the subject!

It's a fact that the Greek's ancient female oracular site of Delphi was dedicated to the Earth Goddess Gaia centuries before Apollo's priests ursurped it and forced the lead Oracle Priestess to wear Apollo's mask. There are some pretty theories that Amazons/women warriors arose at this time to fight & protect remaining Goddess sites from total male takeover, hence the Greeks amazing output of 'Amazon' inspired statues & art may be more commemorative of actual historic events than mere fanciful decoration.

Who was the leader to bring independence Panama Columbia Bolivia Ecuador Peru and Venezuela?

The military and political career of Simón Bolívar, (July 24, 1783 - December 17, 1830), which included both formal service in the armies of various revolutionary regimes and actions organized by himself or in collaboration with other exiled patriot leaders during the years from 1811 to 1830, was an important element in the success of the independence wars in South America. Given the unstable political climate during these years, Bolívar and other patriot leaders, such as Santiago Mariño, Manuel Piar, José Francisco Bermúdez and Francisco de Paula Santander often had to go into exile in the Caribbean or nearby areas of Spanish America that at the moment were controlled by those favoring independence, and from there, carry on the struggle. These wars resulted in the creation of several South American states out of the former Spanish colonies, the currently existing Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia, and the now defunct Gran Colombia.

In his twenty-year career, Bolívar faced two main challenges. First was gaining acceptance as undisputed leader of the republican cause. Despite claiming such a role since 1813, he began to achieve this only in 1817, and consolidated his hold on power after his dramatic and unexpected victory in New Granada in 1819. His second challenge was implementing a vision of a unifying the region into one large state, which he believed (and most would agree, correctly) would be the only guarantee of maintaining American independence from the Spanish in northern South America. His early experiences under the First Venezuelan Republic and in New Granada convinced him that divisions among republicans, augmented by federal forms of government, only allowed Spanish American royalists to eventually gain the upper hand. Once again, it was his victory in 1819 that gave him the leverage to bring about the creation of a unified state, Gran Colombia, with which to oppose the Spanish Monarchy on the continent.
