One of the thing I'm considering tackling is the issue of Travellers in Ireland and Britain. The Amazons live in settled communities generally founded on the outskirts of major cities. Blending in as another multicultural suburbia, the one thing I'm wondering is how a Traveller cross-over would come in. This will probably require more research than I have done so far.
Why Travellers? Well the truth is, I'm Irish and I find the Tinkers to be an interesting feature of the Isles. They are gypsies in a way (they are no Roma, so not sure the term can really apply) who are nomadic and yet are not so. I'm already covering such things as the Nationalist movements so may as well toss in Travellers even if it's one character. With how secretive they can be I'm considering perhaps a Roma man who gets cut off from his family for being contaminated by the outside (somethign I know of) or perhaps his mother is Amazon. Or perhaps it is a her.
Be really interesting to see a female dominate society reacting to one that is stereotypically dominated by men. Especially how it could happen. Something to consider perhaps as a side story.
