Opposed to the damsel in distress, an amazon is a much more feministic heroine. She is strong, stands up for herself, is seductive (though some can be masculine) and even confronted to danger, shows incredible courage. The legend behind their name is that they were tall and strong female warriors from an ancient time. Basically, Heroines who can save themselves are Amazons. In some cases, the term is also used to refer to tall females.

True to this, most amazons are warriors, but not all. Basically, any heroine able to save herself without a man is an amazon.
