You don't acutally need to make every woman from the (wider) amazon culture a warrior.
Even very militarist cultures like Sparta, had plenty of non warrior farmer, they only were not called Spartans proper, but all in all Spartans properïwere more a warrior cast then a different tribe. So you also could have a culture where certain girls are taken away from their families (the second daughter, thoose who pass a test, according to some oracle) to be raised as warriors maybee roughly equivalent to janijars (sp?, turkish eliteforce from children of non islamic parents). Given that they either are the whole army or the elite of the army, they likely have a good status in their society, and likely few if any parents will object to have their children taken away, since having a girl sent away to be amazon likely is a honour. An other option if you have magic is that men and women have access to different spells (or have differences in castingtime vs power) and women tend to have spells that are easily usable in combat, while male magic is more usefull for peacefull civilian trades or maybe support.
