This was mainly because a sword was a man's weapon. Women usually carried daggers. God, according to popular opinion, had not made women for battle. He had made them to be homemakers and healers. This woman obviously didn't care about "popular" opinion. The long, curved weapon hung at her hip with such a natural ease it almost like she had been born with it there.
Later, when she had cause to withdraw the sword, she did so in a graceful, fluid motion. As she moved, the weapon became a natural extension of her arm. There was no hesitation or doubt. Each strike and block was executed with precision and minimal effort. When she had defeated her opponent, she simply sheathed her blade and walked off. Neither gloating or basking in her victory. She knew what she was capable of and that was all she needed.
