Is there any recorded instance of a duel being fought between two women?.......

Well...dueling...If they did, and I'm sure they did at one point or another, it would have been considered EXTREMELY taboo, and inappropriate, or what have you. There are always those stories about women sneaking off to wars or onto ships, and the women pirates, so even if there's no particular documentation of an actual event, there's a grain of truth behind every piece of fiction. I'm sure it happened at one time. :3

I see you have many answers from those under the power of a retroactive moralistic fallacy and confusion between equality of identity and equality of opportunity. First; by the code Duello, no woman would have been considered, dueling. There is no record of woman ever formally dueling. Do you read the ethnographic crime data of today? If you did, you would see why men dueled and woman did not. As I have said to this type of question before; do not confuse equality of opportunity, with equality of identity. There is variance between men and woman, and in an instance of dueling it is brought to sharp contrast.

". . .a duel may be defined as: A consensual fight between two gentlemen, with matched deadly weapons, in accordance with rules explicitly or implicitly agreed upon, over a point of honor, usually accompanied by seconds (who might themselves fight), and in contravention of the law."
I bet there was alot of cat fighting, though! (And there are always exceptions to the rule.)

no. in those days, men not only fought their own honour, they also fought for their women's honour. women include mothers, siblings, spouses & close family members sometimes including in-laws.

I imagine so, because there were some women pirates.
