Origin

Amora the Enchantress unites the female Avengers against their male counterparts. Enchantress is joined by Wasp, Scarlet Witch, Medusa, and Black Widow. United as the Lady Liberators, the group first initially aided the male members of the Avengers against the Masters of Evil, before turning on them, defeating them. However, Enchantress attempted to then eliminate the Liberators which backfired when Wanda utilized her hex powers. With the Enchantress defeated, both genders of the Avengers soon reunited, and things went back to normal.

Much later on, She Hulk puts together a team of female heavy hitters, under the name Lady Liberators. Her new team consists of Valkyrie, Tigra, Thundra, Invisible Woman, Storm, Spider-Woman, Black Widow and Hellcat, in an effort to defeat the Red Hulk.

Creation

Lady Liberators was created by Roy Thomas, John Buscema and Tom Palmer, and first appeared in the Avengers #83, released in 1970. Although their original appearance was brief, the concept was popular enough to be referenced now and then, and eventually revitalized.
